## About

When a bank’s core platform or a cloud data center can’t afford a single minute of downtime, they need someone who shows up, diagnoses fast, and fixes it right the first time\. That’s the work I’ve done for 9\+ years\. I’m a Data Center Engineer and Field Service Engineer specializing in HPE high\-end servers \(Superdome2, SX2000, Integrity, ProLiant, NonStop\) and IBM Z mainframes \(Z12 to Z17\)\. I’ve supported regulated, 24x7 environments for Bank of America, JPMC, RBI, SBI, ICICI, Vodafone, and Bharti Airtel\. WHAT I BRING ▪ Hands\-on reliability: I was the sole on\-site HPE technician inside Microsoft Azure’s production colocation facility in Mumbai, keeping 1,000\+ servers healthy in a zero\-downtime environment\. ▪ Deployment at scale: I physically deployed 320\+ servers across 20 blade enclosures for a Government of India agency, from rack & stack and structured cabling to staging and burn\-in\. ▪ Fast fault isolation: I trace hardware failures through system logs and alerts \(L1 to L3\), own each case end to end, and escalate to product engineering with clear fault data\. ▪ Disciplined change execution: I follow RFC/CAB approvals, approved MOPs, and strict safety protocols, and I document everything in SOPs and runbooks so the next engineer isn’t starting from zero\. ▪ Team leadership: I led a 24x7 operations team that maintained 100% uptime for Indian Railways, and I enjoy mentoring junior technicians\. CORE COMPETENCIES HPE & Server Platforms: Superdome2, Superdome Flex, SX2000, Integrity, ProLiant, NonStop, HP\-UX, Linux Mainframe: IBM Z Series \(Z12 to Z17\) hardware operations Management & Monitoring: HPE OneView, iLO, RAID/BIOS configuration Data Center Operations: Rack & Stack, Structured Cabling, Staging & Burn\-In, Break\-Fix, Asset Lifecycle, Decommissioning, 24x7 Incident Escalation Process & Compliance: ITIL, RFC/CAB, SOPs amp; Runbooks, Disaster Recovery, Lab & Safety Compliance My goal is to grow into a leading specialist in mission\-critical infrastructure globally\. I’m always glad to connect with Data Center Managers, Infrastructure Operations Leaders, and Technical Recruiters hiring for Senior Computing Engineer, Data Center Engineer, Data Center Technician, Field Service Engineer, or Server Hardware Engineer roles\.
