Hello, I’m Naveen, a Manager of Solution Architecture, Agentic AI Architect, GenAI Engineer, and technology writer based in Dallas, Texas.

I currently lead a team of Solution Architects at Ashling Partners, where I am responsible for technical leadership, solution quality, team development, and the successful delivery of enterprise automation and AI initiatives. My role involves guiding architects through complex technical decisions, establishing reusable architecture patterns, supporting customer discovery, and ensuring that proposed solutions are secure, scalable, reliable, and aligned with measurable business outcomes.

I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science from San Francisco Bay University. My technology journey began at Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Kakinada, where I built a strong foundation in software engineering and problem-solving.

I started my professional career as a .NET Developer at a startup. During that time, I discovered UiPath and entered the field of Robotic Process Automation. Winning first prize in an automation hackathon became an important turning point in my career and strengthened my interest in building practical technology solutions.

After joining Ashling Partners, I progressed from RPA Developer to Lead Developer, Solution Architect, and eventually Manager of the Solution Architecture team. Throughout this journey, I have designed and led enterprise automation, intelligent document processing, generative AI, and agentic automation solutions across multiple industries.

As a manager, I focus on helping Solution Architects grow beyond implementation. I coach team members on architecture thinking, customer communication, technical discovery, delivery ownership, and translating business problems into solutions that create measurable value. I also work closely with delivery, sales, engineering, and customer stakeholders to turn emerging technologies into repeatable enterprise capabilities.

I am particularly interested in agentic AI systems that can perceive, reason, and act across complex business workflows. My work focuses on orchestration, human-in-the-loop processes, AI governance, enterprise security, reliability, and the practical deployment of AI agents in real-world environments.

Outside of my core role, I enjoy creating software products, experimenting with emerging AI technologies, and writing about artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation, and solution architecture. My goal is to explain complex technical concepts through practical examples, real implementations, and lessons learned from experience.

I also lead the UiPath Dallas community, organizing virtual and in-person sessions that bring together automation professionals, technology leaders, and practitioners to learn, collaborate, and share ideas.

In recognition of my contributions to the automation community and my expertise in Core Automation and AI, I have received the UiPath Most Valuable Professional award. I have also served as a judge for the Globee Awards, where I evaluated technology and cybersecurity innovations from organizations and professionals around the world.

I remain committed to building useful technology, developing strong technical leaders, and helping organizations adopt automation and AI in ways that are responsible, scalable, and commercially valuable.
