# Suren Konathala
Java architect and portfolio manager at Capgemini building GenAI apps on the JVM.

## About

Suren Konathala simplifies technology adoption for organizations. Currently a portfolio manager at Capgemini, he draws on over two decades in the industry to turn complex architectural concepts into practical, real-world deployments.

A developer and architect at heart, Suren focuses on bringing AI development into the enterprise Java ecosystem. He recently built the JAQ stack—combining Java, Helidon MCP, Ollama, and LangChain4j—to show developers how to build secure, private generative AI apps entirely within the JVM.

He studied computer science at Carnegie Mellon and Stanford, and champions open-source communities.
