What I'm looking for

I'm looking to own golden-path infrastructure at scale through platform engineering, internal developer platforms, and GitOps, while building reliable, secure cloud-native systems and guiding engineering teams.

At Banfico India, I lead SRE operations for regulated Open Banking platforms, owning production releases, incident response, root-cause analysis, and post-mortems across SBX, UAT, and production.

I've led EKS-to-ROSA HCP migrations, delivered a zero-downtime PostgreSQL v12 to v16 RDS Blue/Green upgrade, and designed disaster recovery using cross-region RDS and EFS replication with sub-two-hour failover. I also built an EFK logging platform ingesting more than 100 million documents per day.

Across 10 years in IT, I've built CI/CD and GitOps workflows, secured API gateways with OpenResty, NGINX, and ModSecurity, and guided SRE and support engineers through production operations. I'm CKA-certified and continuing to deepen my work in internal developer platforms, GitOps, and platform engineering.
