# Chander Dhall

> 15-time Microsoft AI MVP, Google Developer Expert, Microsoft Regional Director, founder and CEO of Cazton, author, speaker, and hands-on technology leader focused on production AI, enterprise architecture, AI governance, program recovery, and teams that ship.

Chander Dhall helps organizations build production AI systems, scale cloud architectures, recover stalled enterprise programs, and make high-stakes AI decisions with clearer engineering evidence. Public site materials describe him as the founder of Cazton, a senior technical consulting firm built from zero funding into a multi-million dollar company, and as a practitioner called in when systems need architecting, projects need rescuing, or teams need stronger delivery habits.

Cazton is presented on this site as the expert team Chander brings into enterprise engagements. The model is not a software or license sale: Cazton works with existing vendors and internal teams, adds an independent accountability layer, and produces evidence-based decision packages for leadership.
