About

"I build engineering systems that help teams ship safer, faster and smarter. With 17+ years of experience, I’ve moved past just building pipelines—I focus on the intersection of platform engineering, security and AI-driven operational intelligence. My leadership philosophy is simple: engineering excellence is not a task; it’s a culture of reliability, autonomy and scalability. Whether it’s architecting autonomous multi-cloud fabrics, driving SOC 2 compliance, or building LLM-powered observability, my focus remains on one thing: enabling engineers to own their impact without burnout. Leadership Focus: * Scaling Platforms: Building resilient K8s-based fabrics that handle billions of daily records. * Reliability as a Discipline: Architecting AI-driven observability and RCA frameworks that reduce MTTR. * Security & Compliance: Driving shift-left DevSecOps and building security-as-code into every SDLC. * Strategic FinOps: Scaling infrastructure efficiency with rigorous cost governance. I thrive at the intersection of business strategy and technical execution. Let’s connect if you’re building high-scale platforms or looking to mature your engineering reliability and security culture."

Work experience

Sr Engineering Manager at Bidgely, Dec 2021 - Mar 2026 · 4 yrs 4 mos, Bengaluru, DevSecOps, Security & Compliance: Led Security-as-Code & shift-left practices integrating SAST, SCA, IaC scanning, and OPA-based policy controls into CI/CD, reducing SDLC risk. Defined enterprise security architecture with IAM least-privilege, network segmentation, Vault-based secrets, and encryption for PHI/PII compliance. Drove SOC 2 Type II certification by designing controls, automating evidence collection, and managing audits. Directed incident response, penetration testing, and vendor risk management. Infrastructure Reliability & SRE: Owned platform stability across Dev/Stage/Prod with strong governance and isolation policies. Built observability stack (Grafana, Loki, New Relic), defined SLOs/SLAs, and implemented intelligent alerting. Reduced MTTR via incident leadership, blameless RCA culture, and real-time health dashboards. Led disaster recovery and BCP, defining RTO/RPO and executing failover strategies. Autonomous Platform & AI Infrastructure: Built Internal Developer Platform (IDP) on Kubernetes (GKE/OKE) with KEDA and GitOps (ArgoCD), enabling event-driven, scale-to-zero workloads. Architected LLM serving pipelines, optimizing GPU/TPU utilization and inference cost models. Transitioned to operator-driven Kubernetes control plane, reducing operational overhead. AI Architecture & Agentic Systems: Designed agentic AI workflows integrating enterprise data with LLMs using LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI, and LangGraph. Built RAG systems using ChromaDB for contextual insights and decision support. Defined prompt strategies, orchestration patterns, and AI lifecycle governance. Established frameworks for model evaluation, governance, and risk mitigation. FinOps & Cost Governance: Delivered >$3M savings via compute optimization, Redshift governance, storage lifecycle policies, and idle resource reduction. Led vendor strategy and contract negotiations. Defined platform roadmap aligned with scalable AI-driven growth.
