Eight years of platform engineering, at scale.
I build cloud platforms that hold up under audits, migrations, and 1 AM cutovers.

01About
I'm a Tech Lead with eight years of platform and DevSecOps work behind me — built across fintech, healthcare, security, live streaming, and logistics. The thread isn't an industry; it's the kind of system that has to keep working when everything around it is changing.
Most recently, I lead the platform organisation at one of India's larger fintechs, supporting 200+ microservices and 200+ engineers across AWS, Oracle Cloud, and GCP. Before that I was running SRE and DevOps work at Innovaccer (healthcare data), Airtel Digital / Wynk (streaming), Sophos (cybersecurity), Rivigo (logistics), and Birdeye (SaaS).
I care about reliability that's actually rehearsed, costs that are owned rather than tolerated, and developer experience that doesn't depend on a human being on call to unblock it.
02Practice
The disciplines I keep returning to.
Platform & CI/CD
GitOps deployments, internal developer platforms, ephemeral environments, and the long work of org-wide CI/CD overhauls.
Reliability & DR
Disaster recovery designed and rehearsed — half-yearly drills with ~0 RPO and <30-minute RTO across critical services.
Cloud & Infrastructure
Multi-cloud architecture across AWS, OCI, and GCP. Kubernetes migrations, Terraform-everywhere, real-world cost optimisation.
Security & Compliance
Cleared RBI, SOC 2, ISO 27001, GITC, IS audits. Shift-left security, secrets hygiene, IAM and network discipline.
Observability
Stand-up of metrics, traces, and logs across Prometheus, Grafana, Signoz, ELK, Loki — from greenfield to enterprise scale.
Leadership
Mentoring, hiring, and running technical roadmaps. Five direct reports today across DevOps, SRE, and Cloud Security.
03Where
A short tour of the systems I've worked on.
- Fintech BharatPe Lead platform, security, reliability, and audit posture for a 17M+ user payments business.
- Healthcare Innovaccer SRE on data-platform microservices — GitOps on EKS, Kafka, and infrastructure-as-code.
- Streaming Airtel Digital · Wynk Live video pipeline with content moderation; data and analytics infra on AWS.
- Security Sophos Led the production infrastructure revamp to Terraform-everywhere with one-click DR.
- Logistics Rivigo Java migrations off Elastic Beanstalk; environment automation and containerisation.
- SaaS Birdeye First production AWS infrastructure, monitoring stack, and the early cost-optimisation work.
