So nowadays I run my own small boutique consulting firm that basically does Advanced analytics in the utility Electrical utilities sector. So that's where I am there. I've bean in consulting for the last 38 years. Uh, I am an electrical engineer by profession. My graduate degrees in electrical engineering to, um, I started life working in a steel plant as a maintenance engineer, like most electrical folks do working in industry. But then kind of moved on to systems where, you know, you're looking at automation off systems and then moving on to sort off tech strategy. Technical architectures. I came to the U. S. In 1996. So just about 25 years ago and then have bean working in consulting with consulting firms mostly, you know, top Fortune 5000 clients, mostly working in tech strategy. Take architectural again. Very, uh, you know, sort off focused on the next generation off technology and how effects business What incidents and experiences. I think one of the biggest things that happened to me when I was back in India was I went to the UK to sort off, look at so sums engineering there and then decided that I need to come and get a graduate degree here. Went to school here in UT Arlington and then joined a company out from, uh, the industry. You know, Ross Perot was the owner. So did consulting. That started my consulting journey, and, yeah.

I'm relatively new as an independent. Sort off. You know, Enterprise owner, Very small. Group off about six people and we are continuing. Thio. Look at, you know, the next degree or the next form off advanced analytics in multiple spaces. Utilities being our core strength because of the electrical is my sort of my big reader. I've done a lot of work and multiple other domains. The electrical utilities industry here person is, uh it's still sort of lagging the rest off the other domains because off various reasons. But s O, that was, you know, an opportunity for us that we saw is a good place to grow. We started about the September October off last year on then, obviously, the last six months, with the pandemic being there, things have been very slow. We are just trying to sort off, you know, wait for the tide to turn so that discussions that are on with multiple clients can actually see some revenue starting to come in. So it's been a challenging time, but again, because off all of us being from past consulting backgrounds, we you know, we tend to know this up and down in the in the business cycle. We expect things to sort off, turn back toe normal by the second quarter of next year. So time is what we are looking at. But I'm holding on doing our own stuff on, then see how it goes.

off that is actually driven by the partnerships that we have. We do a lot off big data, you know, work mostly on on the azure platform. If if the customer is willing to do that so that we are actually doing ah, pay as you go model. If not, all are big data on M l algorithms are all you know, driven on like a Apache spark sort off very small, but again, a lot off. Fine tuning off That model is done depending upon what the customer asks. Because off the utility industries on their way off gathering data and and the potential of the data being not being clean. So there are multiple ways of handling it. But overall scheme of things, you know, after we have figured out how we bring the data about how we do in just the data, then if the customer is his cloud savvy, then we do a lot of work on a jar. Uh, the you know, the customer is on aws than we do with the blue s of DCP. But our preferred platform has bean azure because our skill set, you know, our internal skill set is more on the azure platform. But again, you know, if people don't want to go the cloud our we have our own frameworks. But all those frameworks are used to sort of drive the customer on the maturity level up. But the core, You know what? If you call says a software platform, it's all about this park, uh, form that that, you know, in the Apache sort off landscape.
