Alan O'Shanghnessy

Alan O'Shanghnessy

I'm a Solution Architect working in New Zealand's banking sector, and I consult and advise on AI, Data, and Enterprise Architecture. I've spent years designing and delivering technology solutions in enterprise environments. Some of them worked beautifully. Some of them taught me more than I expected.

That's probably the most honest thing I can say about my experience: I've been close enough to the mistakes to understand why they keep happening. Organizations that over-invest in credentials while under-investing in trust. Teams that confuse effort with progress. Leaders who chase tooling trends and wonder why the business outcomes never follow. I've been in those rooms. I've made some of those calls myself.

What I bring to a stage is not a framework or a methodology. It's pattern recognition from delivery, the kind you only get from building things, watching them break, and figuring out what actually went wrong (not what the post-mortem said went wrong).

My advisory work sits at the intersection of technology strategy and business performance. I work with executives and technical leaders on enterprise data and AI maturity, cloud architecture, and the operating model decisions that quietly determine whether a technology investment delivers value or just burns budget. I also advise individuals and businesses on performance improvement, because, in my view, the same patterns that stall organizations tend to stall careers.

I'm currently pursuing a Master's at MIT and I hold Azure architecture certifications. But I'll be the first to say: credentials open doors. Trust is what keeps you in the room.

I speak on common mistakes in AI and data strategy, enterprise architecture anti-patterns, and the gap between what organizations plan and what they actually ship.

Puspanjali Sarma

I’ve spent 15+ years building data and AI systems—and what keeps me motivated is simple: turning ambitious ideas into dependable, production-ready capabilities that teams can trust.

Today, I’m a 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 at 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗡𝗼𝘄, leading AI platform innovations across Machine Learning, Generative AI, and data engineering. I enjoy the end-to-end work: aligning to business outcomes, designing the architecture, and partnering with teams to ship high-quality solutions. I’ve worked across Fortune 500 enterprises and global startups, and I’ve learned one pattern repeatedly—AI doesn’t scale because of a great model; it scales because the system around it is designed and operated well.

That belief is what led me to write my published book, 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗜 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮—a practical playbook on building strong data foundations, responsible AI governance, and leadership habits that make AI durable, not fragile.

I was recognized among 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮’𝘀 𝗔𝗜𝗠 𝟰𝟬 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝟰𝟬 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗦𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 (𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱), and I’ve helped deliver scalable AI frameworks across BFSI, Healthcare, Retail, and Manufacturing. Mentorship is also important to me—I support communities such as WEHUB and women-in-tech networks, and I write and speak about ethical AI and inclusive team building.

I’m a 𝗗𝗘𝗜 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲 because inclusion isn’t a statement—it’s a daily leadership practice. I care about building teams where people feel safe to contribute, grow, and lead.
