IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a DevOps and Platform consultant with over a decade of experience leading transformations for enterprise clients across banking, retail, CPG, and oil & gas.

My work for Fortune 100 clients has focused on scalability, compliance, monitoring (Prometheus, Dynatrace, ELK) and cost optimization.
I lead and mentor engineering teams, champion DevOps culture and best practices, and consistently deliver measurable improvements in uptime, deployment speed and operational stability. I hold certifications including Red Hat OpenShift Administration and CKA, and have been recognized with client and internal awards for delivery excellence.
