Work experience

Senior Software Architect at Amdocs, May 2025 - Present · 1 yr 3 mos, Pune City, Maharashtra, India, Architecture owner for lifecycle operators, service mesh, ingress gateway layer, and AI platform engineering. Partnered with product managers and development leads to drive platform and AI initiatives end to end across the MS360 release train. • Designed Kubernetes-native AI platform architecture improving deployment efficiency by 20% using custom operators and secure gateway proxies. • Improved Microservices platform scalability by Integrating KEDA with various metric sources. • Developed AI-augmented SDLC using Cursor skills linked to various datasource MCPs. standardised requirement summaries, HLDs, POC plans, architecture reviews. Enhanced delivery speed and output consistency. • Led cloud-native modernisation of ingress and routing for 300+ microservices, eliminating a redundant infrastructure hop. The solution was built using cursor by performing thorough validation and load testing. • Designed WASM-based advanced observability at the Istio ingress gateway — enriching distributed traces with business context, upstream sampling — enabling product management to pursue per-API SLA commitments as a market differentiator. • Facilitated cross-architect alignment across multiple domains. • Brokered trade-offs between PDM delivery expectations and engineering feasibility into PI-level roadmaps spanning WASM telemetry, KGateway adoption, and ambient mesh transition. • Created an executive plan for agentic AI on the support portal (multi-agent orchestration across Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket, and SupportGPT) targeting a 60–75% reduction in tickets escalated to R&D. • Initiated MS360 domain ontology (glossary, rules, flows across 11+ repositories) with agent evaluation question banks — establishing a reusable knowledge foundation for support AI agents and architect-assisted design.

Chief Software Architect at Amdocs, Jun 2024 - May 2025 · 1 yr, Pune City, Maharashtra, India, Lead cross-domain architecture governance across the managed services product portfolio. Accountable for technology standards, solution consistency, and delivery priorities spanning multiple product teams. • Governed architecture across SRE automation, observability, and AI product lines — aligning teams on shared Kubernetes-native patterns and reducing conflicting design decisions during concurrent product delivery. • Chaired architecture reviews and set technical direction for new Gen AI and observability capabilities, ensuring designs met operational scale and reuse requirements across customer engagements. • Partnered with product and engineering leadership on portfolio prioritization — balancing innovation (Gen AI, ML alerting) with operational stability for live managed services accounts. • Continued hands-on ownership of critical solution designs while mentoring Lead Architects and senior engineers on architecture quality and stakeholder communication.

Lead Software Architect at Amdocs, Sep 2022 - Jun 2024 · 1 yr 10 mos, Pune District, Maharashtra, India, Managed 4 software architects. Responsible for team technical direction, solution review, mentoring, and delivery of the products aimed to reduce total cost of operation in managed services. • Managed and mentored software architects — conducting design reviews and quality gates — improving architecture consistency and delivery velocity across product lines. • Managed stakeholders with product managers and directors. Aligned efficiency goals with product roadmaps for SRE automation and observability, enhancing managed services. • Led architecture for Gen AI SOP assistant — reducing time locating procedural knowledge during incidents and improving first-response quality. • Drove AI-augmented alert scoring integration into the SRE automation platform — prioritising monitoring signals and routing to the correct automation or responder, improving mean-time-to-action for operations teams. • Established reusable architecture patterns that teams could adopt without re-architecting per engagement.

Technical Associate at Tech Mahindra, Jul 2007 - Sep 2009 · 2 yrs 3 mos, Pune City, Maharashtra, India, Supporting Platform for British Telecom CRM Application. • Supported Development teams to build and deploy SW packages. • Supported QA and NFT teams to overcome system challenges. • Capacity Planning. • Production Support.
