About Me

About Me Link to heading

I am a highly accomplished and results-driven Senior Site Reliability & Platform Engineer with over 8 years of experience architecting scalable cloud-native systems and leading high-performing engineering teams. My expertise spans Kubernetes, AWS infrastructure automation, and GenAI/ML platform reliability. I have a proven track record of maintaining 99.99% service availability, significantly reducing Change Failure Rate (CFR) by 60%, and accelerating deployment velocity for over 100 engineering teams. I possess deep expertise in observability, incident response, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and applying robust software engineering principles to achieve operational excellence.
