About

Site Reliability Engineer at PhonePe with hands-on experience managing on-prem datacenter infrastructure, scaling distributed systems, and automating complex production workflows. Skilled in Linux, Docker, GitLab CI/CD, Nginx, Kafka, HashiCorp Vault, SaltStack, and Ansible, with deep exposure to databases and caching systems like Aerospike, MariaDB, Elasticsearch, and HDFS. I have a strong understanding of networking concepts, including TCP/IP, DNS, and system-level protocols, which I leverage to optimize reliability and troubleshoot production issues efficiently. I’ve built self-service automation platforms, on-call management tools, and infrastructure validation pipelines that improved efficiency, reliability, and developer experience across teams. Alongside my SRE work, I also build backend tools and services using Java Springboot and sometimes Python Flask , integrating with real-world production systems. I’m passionate about reliability engineering, performance optimization, and bridging the gap between software development and operations.
