Suhail Ahmed
Solutions Architect — Cloud, Data & AI
I design and run the layer enterprises depend on: landing zones, data platforms, and governed AI. Azure. AWS. Foundry. Databricks. Snowflake. Ten years in infrastructure, now shipping AI into production.
01 / Focus
I put AI apps and agents onto real cloud and data estates, governed and measured.
Azure AI-103 (Developing AI Apps and Agents on Azure) certified. Day to day I connect Azure AI Foundry, agents, and evals to Databricks, Snowflake, and Sigma.
I evaluate Cursor and MCP for the team with security, configuration, and responsible use first. Side projects and hackathons are where I test ideas before they reach production.
Data
Databricks, Snowflake, and Sigma platforms with CI/CD, so insights move from a notebook to a dashboard.
AI
Azure AI Foundry as a governed gateway, AI agents on the data platform, evals and operational readiness — built to measure and govern, not just demo.
02 / In production at Revantage Global
What I run, not just what I demo.
Azure AI Foundry AI gateway
Implemented Azure AI Foundry as the gateway to manage, monitor, and govern the company’s AI solutions: one place for model access, oversight, and control.
AI agents on Databricks, Snowflake & Sigma
Designed AI agents on the data platform that cut manual analysis for Ops and business teams, and enabled AI for analytics and operational insights.
Readiness & responsible tooling
Support AI application build-out with evals, testing, and operational readiness; evaluate Cursor and MCP with security and configuration first.
Scope only. Internal details and metrics stay with the employer.
03 / Projects
Open-source labs and hackathon builds.
Lab98% routing · ~27–29% cheaper
LLM auto-router on Azure AI Foundry
Routes each prompt to the cheapest model that can handle it. 98% routing accuracy on 100 labelled prompts vs 62% for keyword rules, and about 27–29% lower cost than sending everything to gpt-5.4 (measured in the repo; 98% is optimistic until a held-out split is added).
