About

I'm Nishit Ghosh, currently serving as Principal Architect and Vice President at Northern Trust. My career has been defined by a journey through the heart of financial technology, from engineering roles at Credit Suisse and UBS to leading large-scale delivery at Capital One. I specialize in the intersection of Enterprise Architecture and Generative AI, with a particular focus on building mission-critical platforms that thrive in highly regulated environments. I am passionate about eliminating toil through AI-native tooling and fostering high-agency engineering cultures. Whether it's architecting systems that handle millions of daily transactions or deploying agentic AI to reduce operational costs, my goal is to ensure technology moves at the speed of business. I’m always looking to connect with fellow innovators who are interested in operational intelligence and the future of Agentic AI in the enterprise space.
