About

Staff SRE | 9 years operating infrastructure at scale | Tech lead for platforms serving 90M+ users at 5M req/min Currently leading SRE at Mobile Premier League, where I've driven three infrastructure transformations and mentored engineers from junior to senior across a high-stakes real-time gaming platform. WHAT I LEAD: - Technical direction for SRE across 100+ microservices, 4 geographies (India, USA, Brazil) - On-call architecture for mission-critical real-time multiplayer systems (5M req/min) - Cross-team initiatives spanning platform, product, and infrastructure orgs - Hiring, mentorship, and growth of SRE team members THREE TRANSFORMATIONS I'VE LED: 1. Legacy monolith → Kubernetes on AWS: 10x faster deployments 2. AWS → GCP migration, 100+ microservices: 99.99% uptime, 30% cost reduction, zero downtime 3. Patented Relay infrastructure for real-time gaming: provisioning hours→minutes, 30% latency reduction, 60% toil reduction IMPACT: - 40% infrastructure cost reduction - 99.9%+ SLA across mission-critical systems; MTTR cut 50% - SLO/SLI framework adopted across 100+ services - DR posture: RPO <15min, RTO <30min - 10x traffic surge capacity validated CURRENTLY EXPLORING: Building LLM-powered operations tooling — MCP-based alert generation, AI-assisted observability, and agentic systems for SRE work. Interested in infrastructure roles at companies operating large-scale distributed systems and AI/ML platforms. STACK: AWS · GCP · Kubernetes · Terraform · Kafka · Prometheus · Grafana · PostgreSQL · MongoDB · Redis · Python
