At Litmus Automation, I lead efforts to connect industrial assets to the cloud using Azure IoT Operations, Azure Arc, Event Hub, and IoT Edge. I've supported global manufacturers in reducing downtime and improving operational efficiency, one of our customer integrated Litmus Edge with Azure to centralize 500+ industrial assets across plants, while another leveraged our solution to enable predictive maintenance for energy assets using Azure Machine Learning. I’ve delivered webinars, authored technical blogs, and led customer architecture reviews that help organizations adopt modern IIoT strategies. I also mentor engineers, contribute to forums, and develop field-tested reference designs to simplify and accelerate digital transformation using Microsoft technologies.
