Smarter Edge Architectures: AI Approaches for High-Speed, Real-Time Decisioning

Abstract:

Smarter edge architectures are redefining real-time decisioning by bringing AI closer to data sources. This talk explores lightweight AI models, edge analytics, and distributed intelligence enabling ultra-low latency, high-speed responses. It highlights architectural patterns, deployment strategies, where edge AI drives scalability, resilience, and intelligent automation.

Profile:

Having 14 years of experience as a Software Change/Release Manager in orchestrating seamless release and change processes across both on-premises and cloud environments, including complex cloud migration projects. By leveraging advanced DevOps automation and AI-driven tools, pipelines have been optimized to support unified build, test, and deployment workflows adaptable to hybrid infrastructures. AI-enabled code analysis, automated validations, and predictive analytics streamline integration and deployment, enabling early risk detection in both legacy and cloud-native stacks. During migrations, intelligent automation assists in dependency mapping, environment replication, validation, minimizing downtime to ensure data integrity. Utilized AIOps solutions to deliver automated incident detection, triage, root cause analysis, risk assessment, low-risk cloud adoption. Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices are enhanced with intelligent runbooks, self-healing automation to support environment consistency, resilience for migration activities. Integrated AI in the release process to ensure reliable, secure, and compliant delivery for multiple web applications.
