I build geo-distributed Azure telemetry and observability platforms for Kubernetes at massive scale.

India
Message

At Microsoft, I build geo-distributed telemetry, observability, and engineering intelligence platforms for one of the world’s largest Kubernetes deployments. I designed a 4PB+ Azure Data Explorer architecture supporting 2M+ CPU cores across 1,500+ AKS clusters in public, sovereign, and air-gapped clouds.

I lead end-to-end delivery across infrastructure as code, CI/CD, ingestion, data modeling, access controls, monitoring, and cost optimization. I’ve also built automated Grafana provisioning, ADF-based analytics pipelines, deployment sequencing algorithms, AI-powered COGS anomaly detection, and data-classification solutions.
