Platform & Reliability Engineer | Cloud-Native & SRE Architecture

"Building deterministic, resilient distributed systems where security and observability are foundational invariants."

🚀 Executive Summary

I am a Platform & DevOps Engineer currently operating enterprise collections platforms for a Tier-1 public-sector bank at Sunfire Technologies. My daily operations revolve around managing air-gapped Red Hat OpenShift clusters (zero internet egress), executing deterministic disaster recovery drills (ensuring RTO/RPO compliance), and enforcing zero-trust network policies.

Beyond enterprise infrastructure, I am deeply invested in AI-driven observability and community building. I co-organize Grafana & Friends Mumbai and Cloud Native Mumbai, driving technical empowerment across the cloud-native ecosystem.
