- Manage and enhance a declarative onboarding platform responsible for provisioning 1,000+ Kubernetes Custom Resources (CRs) to bootstrap SaaS products for global Banks and NBFCs. - Spearheaded the end-to-end rollout of a major platform enhancement across 6 global zones, ensuring 100% backward compatibility during this migration. This initiative reduced complexity+deployment overhead for SaaS Publishers. This dropped incidents due to human error by 90% and propelled the self-service SaaS publishing platform that catalyzed a 20x increase in product launches. - Engineered a "Review-first" auditable SaaS subscription flow, improving tenant admin control and observability for upgrades. - Built Zeta’s Custom Resource Catalog, the end-to-end platform enabling discovery and cataloging of resources. - Scaled the internal SaaS ecosystem from 1 product to 20+ products in 2 years, driving a massive increase in platform adoption by standardizing provisioning contracts and resource discovery models.

- Designed and built an Extensions Service and a Kubernetes Operator to enable seamless adoption of extensible fields (tags and attributes) across platform tables, allowing cross-team enrichment of data entities without coupling to core domain models; drove org-wide adoption across multiple engineering teams at Zeta - Built from scratch a few Kubernetes Operators which provision Custom Resources (CRs) written in Spring using Java Operator SDK for creating Operators. - Managing the end-to-end ownership of the Fang pipeline (collection of multiple microservices) in Zeta, which was responsible for Tenant Onboarding over the Multi Tenant Architecture of Zeta, so that any bank can onboard Zeta's stack. This reduced the Onboarding time from 4 months to 1-2 hours. This comprised of onboarding to multiple modules spanning across different teams in Zeta TECH USED – Java | Spring Boot | Kubernetes | Helm charts | CRs | Jenkins | Docker | Git | Scrum
