Varghese

Ex-Indian Air Force Officer turned Project Manager and builder. I spent 10 years in the IAF managing aircraft, critical operations, and high-stakes teams — then moved into the corporate world at Northern Trust, where I've led digital transformation and the Payments Centre of Excellence for the past 3 years.

Now I'm building software on the side — tools that solve real problems, stay out of your way, and respect your privacy. AI & ML from UT Austin, Business Analytics from LIBA, and a habit of shipping things that actually work.
