## About

```text
At 360dialog, I tech-led a team of seven platform engineers building a multi-cloud foundation across 35+ GKE clusters. I replaced GCP Monitoring with Grafana LGTM and OpenTelemetry, reducing monitoring costs by ~60%.

I also built Python agentic-AI automations to triage P1/P2 incidents, provide initial root-cause analysis, and flag release risks. Earlier, at SAP Labs (BrilliantHire), I optimized Apache Airflow training DAGs to cut execution time from seven hours to under 45 minutes.
