What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build secure, observable Kubernetes and hybrid-cloud platforms, lead automation and self-service initiatives, and partner with distributed engineering teams to improve developer productivity and platform reliability.

At Ford, I built GoldenEye, a production Go service and GitHub App running across 4,000+ repositories, with GCP Cloud Run deployment, CI/CD, security gates, and OpenTelemetry tracing.

I’m raising observability maturity for Ford’s Kubernetes platform through Terraform-based Monitoring-as-Code, standardized SLOs, Dynatrace dashboards, actionable alerting, and runbook automation.

Over nine years at Microchip Technology, I owned Kubernetes platform engineering and hybrid infrastructure for 1,000+ semiconductor design engineers. I pioneered bare-metal RKE/Kubernetes adoption, migrated the Atlassian stack to self-healing clusters, introduced SRE practices, and built observability with ELK, Prometheus, and Grafana.

I build APIs, automation, and self-service platforms in Go, Python, Java, and Perl, while leading distributed teams across India, the US, and Europe. I’ve managed engineers, mentored colleagues from graduate through senior level, and turned platform requirements into reliable, auditable infrastructure.
