Independently conceived, designed, built, and shipped a production SaaS product solving a real, self-experienced problem: uncontrolled LLM API costs for developers using OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini etc. Owned the full product lifecycle end-to-end market research and competitive analysis (vs. Helicon, Lang Smith, Portkey.ai), UX/UI design in Figma, technical architecture, development, QA, and go-to-market. Defined product strategy and positioning, identifying an underserved market gap: a lightweight, affordable cost-monitoring tool for solo developers and small teams priced and scoped explicitly against enterprise-heavy competitors. Designed core product features based on user pain points: real-time usage dashboard, smart threshold-based email alerts, multi-provider cost breakdown, and secure API key management. Built and deployed on a modern stack (Next.js, TypeScript, Supa base/PostgreSQL, Vercel), achieving a production-ready launch in under 3 weeks with near-zero infrastructure cost. Iterated on business model and pricing strategy based on market feedback moved from a flat $9/mo plan to a tiered model to better match willingness-to-pay across user segments. Led go-to-market efforts including cold outreach, Product Hunt launch preparation, and distribution testing across multiple channels. Directly applied product management fundamentals — problem discovery, market sizing, competitive positioning, pricing strategy, and prioritization — in a real, high-stakes, ownership environment with no team to delegate to.

​GenAI Platform Engineer | Ex-SRE & DevOps | Building Autonomous Infrastructure & Agentic AI Systems | AWS & Kubernetes

About

​I am a GenAI Platform Engineer and SRE professional with over 6.5 years of experience in building, scaling, and automating robust cloud infrastructure. My career has been defined by a passion for solving complex operational challenges, particularly within high-availability environments in the hospitality sector. ​Having spent 5+ years mastering the art of reliable infrastructure, I have now pivoted my focus toward the next frontier: Agentic AI and Autonomous Cloud Systems. I believe the future of SRE isn't just about manual intervention, but about building intelligent agents capable of self-healing and proactive optimization. *​Core Technical Competencies: ​GenAI & AI Engineering: Architecting multimodal workflows, Agentic AI systems, and integrating LLMs into production environments. ​Infrastructure & DevOps: Deep expertise in Kubernetes, Docker, and Helm for container orchestration. ​Cloud Platforms: Advanced management and optimization of AWS and Azure environments. ​Automation & IaC: Proficient in Terraform, Ansible, and Shell scripting to eliminate toil and enforce consistency. ​CI/CD: Building scalable deployment pipelines that ensure high code velocity and stability.
