Staff Engineer II @ Glance | Platform Engineering

About

I'm a Staff Engineer II with 15+ years of experience, evolving from test automation engineering to building developer platforms, observability systems, and AI-native tooling at scale. Currently at Glance (InMobi Group), I own the developer tooling and observability focused on making engineers faster, more confident, and more productive through AI-powered tooling and observability infrastructure. What I've built: - AI-powered code review system saving engineering review time - Zero-code Android telemetry platform - Autonomous release quality platform - Org-wide observability stack processing 1B errors/month across 25 projects What I care about: - Developer velocity and platform-as-a-product thinking - Bringing AI into the developer workflow — not as a gimmick, but as a force multiplier - Measuring everything — DORA metrics, SLOs, and making reliability visible Previously at IBM Security (5 years) and Oracle, where I built test automation frameworks, API validation systems, and security detection pipelines. Open to conversations about Platform Engineering, Developer Experience in the world of AI.
