What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior technical role where I can combine hands-on architecture with engineering excellence to build scalable, reliable cloud-native applications. I’m looking to work for a globally distributed team that values technical ownership, continuous learning, and pragmatic innovation.

At Appian, I build a cloud-native managed platform for the Appian low-code platform built on AWS and EKS.

I’ve engineered KEDA and HPA based elastic scaling with Prometheus metrics, built Kubernetes Operators and led multi-tenant Redis caching architecture on Amazon ElastiCache Serverless. My work helps remove manual bottlenecks and establish cloud-native standards across teams.

Across Intellect Design Arena, Cognizant, and Ebix, I’ve led architecture for invoice automation, entitlement management, rewards platforms, enterprise data services, and financial-services CRM products. I bring 20+ years of experience with distributed systems, microservices, AWS, Kubernetes, Java, and platform engineering.
