Senior Python developer and AWS data/DevOps engineer driving scalable, automated, production ML and data platforms.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Senior Systems Engineer and Python developer with 6+ years building high-availability data and ML platforms on AWS. I design fault-tolerant architectures, implement IaC and CI/CD, and deliver production-ready MLOps and GenAI solutions that reduce latency and standardize infrastructure across teams.
As a pragmatic Agile leader and Scrum Master, I’ve led cross-functional teams to deploy petabyte-scale data stores, RAG pipelines, and reusable Terraform modules adopted org-wide. I prioritize automation, observability, security (least-privilege IAM), and continuous improvement to accelerate delivery and operational reliability.
