Aravindh is a software developer by profession, a mathematics teacher by passion and an automobile engineer by education. He's also the developer that convinced me to start using AI tooling in the first place.

He's worked in high responsibility roles in large scale eCommerce (Zalando) , B2B SaaS companies (FreshWorks, VNDLY), and as a consultant at ThoughtWorks. Today he is a leader and developer at e6data, who is developing a high-performance lakehouse query engine for SQL and AI workloads.

Philip Sears is the GenAI Enablement Lead at Grainger, where he helps engineering teams integrate AI tools across the software development lifecycle through strategy, evaluation, and hands-on learning.

In this episode, he talks about how Grainger rolls out AI using a four-phase adoption model, measuring AI value beyond raw developer speed and how it’s beneficial across the SDLC at enterprise.
