Director, Applications Development at IQVIA
I am Karthik Bodducherla, a Thought Leader in CRM Engineering who leads global engineering teams responsible for the design, validation, and delivery of large-scale enterprise software platforms for life sciences and healthcare. With 16+ years of experience across Software Engineering, Quality Engineering, Enterprise Cloud Platforms, and Salesforce-based Architectures, I have led cross-platform initiatives across CRM, web, and mobile ecosystems, and modernized automation and validation frameworks at scale.
My work spans data-driven CRM platforms, compliant cloud architectures, and AI-enabled analytics, with a strong focus on reliability, regulatory compliance (including GxP and 21 CFR Part 11), performance, and scalability. I provide architecture and quality governance across distributed engineering teams, guiding system design decisions, implementation strategies, and end-to-end validation for mission-critical customer engagement platforms. I’m especially passionate about building systems where quality, compliance, and delivery velocity reinforce each other through strong engineering practices, clear governance, and measurable outcomes.
