About

I’m a Staff Site Reliability Engineer focused on building reliable, observable, and automation-driven cloud platforms, with a strong interest in applying Generative AI and AIOps to modern reliability engineering. My work sits at the intersection of SRE, observability, incident response, cloud-native platforms, and AI-assisted operations. I focus on helping engineering teams detect issues faster, correlate operational evidence across multiple systems, reduce toil, and improve MTTR without compromising reliability or safety. A key part of my current work is building an internal AI-driven SRE Agent for incident triage and first-response automation. The platform integrates Kubernetes/GKE, ArgoCD, Prometheus, Grafana, VictoriaLogs, PagerDuty, Confluence, GCP services, and Slack to provide contextual, evidence-based incident analysis from a single interface. My core areas of focus include: • AI-assisted incident triage and investigation • Observability across metrics, logs, traces, and application telemetry • Kubernetes and cloud reliability automation • Alert quality improvement and noise reduction • Evidence-based incident investigation workflows • Chaos testing, recovery validation, and operational readiness • AWS-to-GCP cloud migration and modernization • Incident response, runbooks, and reliability engineering practices I work extensively with Kubernetes, GCP, AWS, Terraform/OpenTofu, Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, PagerDuty, ArgoCD, VictoriaLogs, Splunk, Datadog, AppDynamics, Dynatrace, and New Relic. I’m especially interested in building intelligent, AI-assisted operational systems that augment engineers with better context, faster diagnosis, and safer production decision-making.

Staff Site Reliablity Engineer at Calix, Jan 2026 - Present · 10 mos, Bengaluru, I’m a Staff Site Reliability Engineer focused on building reliable, observable, and automation-driven cloud platforms, with growing specialization in AIOps and Generative AI for reliability engineering. My work spans SRE architecture, observability, incident response, cloud-native platforms, and AI-assisted operations. I design systems that help engineering teams detect issues faster, correlate evidence across multiple platforms, reduce operational toil, and improve MTTR. A major part of my current work is building an internal AI-driven SRE Agent for incident triage and first-response automation. This includes integrating Kubernetes/GKE, ArgoCD, Prometheus, Grafana, VictoriaLogs, PagerDuty, GCP services, and Slack to provide contextual incident analysis from a single interface. My experience includes: Designing observability platforms across metrics, logs, traces, and application telemetry Building AI-assisted incident triage and investigation workflows Improving alert quality and reducing operational noise Developing Kubernetes and cloud reliability automation Driving chaos testing, recovery validation, and operational readiness Supporting AWS-to-GCP migration and platform modernization Improving runbooks, dependency mapping, incident response, and recovery processes I work extensively with Kubernetes, GCP, AWS, Terraform/OpenTofu, Grafana, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, PagerDuty, ArgoCD, VictoriaLogs, Splunk, Datadog, AppDynamics, Dynatrace, and New Relic. I’m particularly interested in the intersection of SRE, observability, Generative AI, and automation—building intelligent systems that augment engineers while maintaining strong operational guardrails.

Senior Site Reliability Engineer at Calix, Feb 2024 - Jan 2026 · 2 yrs, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, I am a highly skilled Site Reliability Engineer with extensive experience in ensuring the integrity, performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of cloud-based infrastructure.
