## About

```text
At Gartner, I work on the central platform team accountable for 100+ Amazon EKS clusters across 8 business units. I help set organization-wide standards for cluster governance, upgrades, security, and audit compliance.

I planned and executed a zero-downtime Istio migration for the company’s primary revenue-facing web application, using revision-based canary upgrades and staged namespace cutover. I also moved the installation to Helm management to provide a supported upgrade path.

I designed Gartner’s EKS Gateway API architecture and migrated production applications from Kubernetes Ingress without service interruption. I built progressive delivery with Argo Rollouts, using weighted HTTPRoute steps, pause gates, and automated rollback.

Previously, at Delhivery, I led a TiDB relocation to AWS that saved $10,000 per month, and optimized cloud resources to achieve $2,000+ in daily savings. I’ve also worked on EKS migrations and deployments at Paytm, and built an independent self-hosted LLM platform on Kubernetes.
