Tech Architect with 16 years delivering planet-scale event-driven cloud platforms and resilient system design.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Tech Architect with 16 years building planet-scale distributed systems and cloud-native platforms across airline, risk, and enterprise domains. I lead event-driven architecture, high-throughput systems (10M+ events/day), platform modernization, and ML-driven automation—focused on resilience, scalability, and measurable performance.
In my most recent work, I architected multi-tenant analytics platforms with domain-driven microservices and event-driven pipelines for high-availability financial analytics. Previously, I designed a distributed event platform across 100+ upstream systems, improving throughput by ~40% through multithreading and async processing, and led enterprise cloud migration and containerization to reduce deployment time. I also mentor teams (including leading a 15-member global team) and drive delivery predictability through CI/CD and strong technical leadership.
