Site Reliability Engineer specializing in large-scale storage, Kubernetes, and automation.
What I'm looking for
I am a Site Reliability Engineer with 3+ years of hands-on experience owning production-scale infrastructure, ensuring reliability and uptime for multi-petabyte distributed systems. I specialize in Kubernetes, Rook-Ceph, MinIO, Linux, and automation using Python and Bash.
At National Payments Corporation of India I led SRE efforts for highly available storage and compute platforms, driving capacity planning, benchmarking, and observability at 7PB+ scale and enabling zero-downtime SLAs for millions of daily API requests. I built CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab, Metaflow), deployed and managed observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK), and automated incident response to reduce MTTR.
I champion open-source adoption, design and maintain production-grade Kubernetes clusters, and have contributed to large data-platform projects for financial institutions including the Central Bank of UAE and SIX Swiss Exchange. I hold an Advanced Certificate in DevOps from Carnegie Mellon University and have been recognized for optimizing storage infrastructure and improving system reliability.
