Ravi (Robbie) Tiwari
Director of Engineering, AI Agentic Leader, Cloud Leader & Technical Educator
Leading AI transformation at enterprise scale with a focus on practical implementations that drive real business value. With extensive experience across Fortune 500 companies including Walgreens, Centene, Nike, Wells Fargo, and Cigna, I specialize in building and scaling AI systems that bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and production reality.
Beyond enterprise work, I've launched multiple startups and developed innovative products including Namixs, TTAP (Transaction Tracking App with 99.5% fraud detection accuracy), and OmniCloudCost Solution. Additionally, I've built a single-person startup - MaximizeHire.ai, an AI-powered recruitment platform used by FAANG US staffing vendors, powered entirely by AI sub-agents. My passion for democratizing AI knowledge drives me to share insights through writing, speaking, and mentoring the next generation of AI professionals.
Our Mission
Democratizing AI at Enterprise Scale
Having led AI initiatives that impact thousands of employees and millions in business value, I understand the challenges of implementing AI in real-world environments. My mission is to share practical, battle-tested knowledge that bridges the gap between AI research and production systems, helping professionals build solutions that actually work at scale.
After implementing AI systems that serve 5,000+ queries weekly and enable 50+ product teams, I've identified the critical gap between academic AI knowledge and enterprise requirements. This roadmap addresses real challenges I've encountered:
- Scaling AI from POC to production systems handling millions of transactions
- Building developer-centric AI platforms that actually get adopted (85%+ adoption rates)
- Optimizing cloud costs while maintaining performance ($5M+ in savings achieved)
- Ensuring compliance and governance in regulated industries
- Creating AI solutions that deliver measurable business value
This roadmap distills lessons learned from building AI at Walgreens, TEKsystems, Centene, Umeey, State of Oregon, and other Fortune 500 enterprises into a practical learning path.
