What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable cloud platforms, observability systems, Kubernetes infrastructure, and data pipelines while contributing to impactful open-source and production-scale work.

At Aspora, I architect and operate production AWS EKS infrastructure using ArgoCD, building observability across VictoriaMetrics, Vector, Quickwit, Grafana, and Datadog. I also own real-time streaming pipelines from MSK Kafka to ClickHouse and from RudderStack to Databricks.

I've built ephemeral per-PR environments through a custom Kong plugin, deployed Kong Gateway with inline JWT verification and rate limiting, and migrated monitoring across environments to Datadog with anomaly detection and predictive alerting. At Murena, I built centralized monitoring on Hetzner Cloud with Terraform, Ansible, Prometheus, Loki, Grafana Alloy, Traefik, and Let's Encrypt TLS.

I've contributed to Kyverno through the Linux Foundation Mentorship and to Prometheus Operator through Google Summer of Code, working on namespace-scoped policy resources, CEL validation, DaemonSet support, and RocketChat integration. I was also a KubeCon + CloudNativeCon India 2026 speaker and won Smart India Hackathon 2025.
