I optimize highly available MySQL infrastructure and reduce database costs for global SaaS platforms.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead database infrastructure work that reduces costs, improves high availability, and supports global SaaS platforms using MySQL, Vitess, Pinot, and cloud technologies.

At Egnyte, I lead database work focused on reducing infrastructure costs and optimizing high availability for a global SaaS environment. I work with Vitess, Apache Pinot, MySQL, ProxySQL, Orchestrator, Terraform, Puppet, and Google Cloud Platform.

Previously, I managed database administration at PayU and supported database operations at Paytm, working across AWS, Azure, Amazon RDS, IAM, migrations, upgrades, performance tuning, and SLA-driven operations.

My earlier database engineering roles at Quikr and Just Dial built my foundation in Unix, troubleshooting, high availability, query tuning, and reliable database upgrades.

I also completed a Computer Science and Engineering bachelor's degree and began my career by developing a Township Complaint Management System during an internship at Tata Chemicals.
