I've also shared insights on Kubernetes-native AI workloads at Cloud Native meetups in Kolkata, demonstrated Google Cloud workflows at GDG Techno India, explained CI/CD pipelines at GirlScript Foundation, and facilitated cloud technology workshops at IIT Chennai.

I help monetized creators ($150K–$2M revenue) remove themselves as the bottleneck before momentum turns into burnout or fragile growth.
Most creators don't think of themselves as salespeople. But every brand deal, partnership negotiation, rate discussion, and "yes" or "no" decision is a sales decision. The difference between creators who scale and creators who stall isn't talent or effort—it's structure.
I've spent 15+ years building sales and revenue systems at AWS, PepsiCo, and Veritas Technologies, where growth can't depend on one person being involved in every decision. Now through Legacy Bloom, I bring that same decision discipline to creators who are earning real money but still carrying everything themselves.
