Nirmal Mehta Explores Emerging Technology Trends

Nirmal Mehta continually keeps his finger on the pulse of emerging technology trends—not just what's next, but what's after that. As a chief technologist, he explores new technologies and builds innovative solutions for our clients. For him, the excitement lies in taking a deep dive into new and technical areas that help drive innovation inside and outside the firm.

After graduating with a B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, Nirmal got his start in the early days of cloud computing and has never looked back. At Booz Allen, his passion for innovation and technical knowledge has allowed him to delve into many emerging technology and strategy trends including immersive, DevSecOps, containerization, and distributed application architectures. 

Nirmal knows how important creativity is to innovation. It can be a challenge to maintain creative head space for design thinking and open prototyping while still acknowledging business realities. However, the reward comes when he and his colleagues can dig into technical details, capture those moments of innovation, and communicate the benefits for his colleagues, technology partners, and clients.

When he’s not driving innovation and tech exploration, Nirmal nurtures the firm’s next generation of technical talent. He believes it’s important to give them the creative space they need to develop new innovations, build and test prototypes, and stretch their technical leadership abilities.
