Message

At Dell Technologies, I delivered Kubernetes/OpenShift AI GPU platforms with NVIDIA H100/H200 clusters for LLM fine-tuning, pre-training, and RAG pipelines. I translated infrastructure requirements into execution plans and coordinated cross-functional delivery.

I combined hands-on platform work—including GPU orchestration, Kubernetes administration, NIM inference deployments, and RDMA/Multus networking—with program execution for a five-engineer team.

At Mindtree, I led Hadoop cluster migration from Hortonworks to CDP and managed cluster availability, security, and performance. I also worked with Spark job scheduling and resource allocation.

At Capgemini, I led database administration work across MySQL and MongoDB, including backup and disaster recovery strategies, migrations, and performance tuning. Earlier, I worked as a Senior System Administrator at Infosys and a DBA at Amrita Technologies.
