What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead SRE-aligned monitoring and observability for mission-critical Oracle middleware and OCI, using automation and runbook-driven operations to reduce incidents, improve SLA adherence, and keep service availability consistently high.

I’m a Principal Middleware and Cloud Infrastructure Architect with 20+ years of experience spanning enterprise architecture, platform engineering, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)-aligned operations. I specialize in Oracle middleware and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), focusing on reliability engineering, observability, capacity planning, and performance optimization.

In my current role at Oracle India Pvt Ltd, I lead enterprise Oracle middleware operations, cloud monitoring architecture, and global L3 production support for mission-critical systems. I architected and managed 15+ Oracle middleware environments and engineered Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM 13c) deployment on OCI to enable proactive observability and SRE-aligned monitoring strategies.

I drive runbook-driven, automation-first operations using Shell, Python, and WLST to streamline incident response and strengthen service stability. My impact includes 30–40% reduction in operational overhead through OEM consolidation, 98–99% SLA adherence via structured incident governance, and 40–60% lower unplanned outages through proactive detection and RCA-driven corrective actions.
