What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and professional growth.

I am an experienced IT professional with over 9 years in Site Reliability Engineering and DevOps. My expertise lies in leveraging tools like Kubernetes, Terraform, and various Cloud Native technologies to enhance system reliability. I have a strong commitment to innovation, as evidenced by my contributions to Open Source projects and my role as a speaker at key industry events. Additionally, I organized the Bangalore SRE Meetup group, fostering community engagement and professional development.

In my current role as a Senior Software Engineer at Warner Bros. Discovery, I collaborate with the Service Reliability team to support the HBO Max OTT platform, ensuring smooth operations and high availability for a global audience. I designed and implemented an Auto-Mitigation Framework that automates alert management, allowing our team to focus on critical issues that improve platform stability. My previous experience at IBM involved managing backend infrastructure for the IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service, where I streamlined deployments and improved operational efficiency.
