As a Site Reliability Engineer at DataStax, I’m responsible for ensuring the reliability, availability, and performance of Astra DB—our stateful, Kubernetes-based managed database service deployed across multi-cloud environments. I lead automation initiatives that drastically reduced manual effort and risk during production rollouts, enabling dynamic and reliable release management at scale.
I played a key role in architecting a centralized monitoring platform to gain end-to-end visibility across 70+ Kubernetes clusters, improving incident detection and resolution. Additionally, I contributed to cost optimization initiatives that led to millions of dollars in annual cloud savings through intelligent resource utilization and infrastructure tuning.

Associate Software Engineer

Aug 2014 – May 2020 · 5 yrs 9 mos · Bangalore

As a fresher at SAP, I quickly transitioned into a DevOps role, where I excelled in handling CI/CD using Jenkins for product deployments. Progressing further, I automated deployment and upgrades of a complex product across multiple clouds (AWS, Azure, Ali Cloud, OpenStack) with a single click, greatly improving pipeline efficiency.
I took ownership of observability, implementing robust monitoring and logging solutions to ensure real-time insights for proactive troubleshooting and issue resolution. Additionally, I developed autoscaling capabilities for components in a complex public cloud architecture, enhancing reliability and building customer trust.
One of my notable achievements was successfully leading a seamless migration from our native data center to a public cloud, including the transfer of terabytes of sensitive data and critical components like Cassandra, Postgres, ZooKeeper, and Nginx. I achieved this with zero downtime, utilizing open VPN networks and automation tools such as Ansible, Terraform, and Python.
Throughout my time at SAP, I showcased a passion for innovation and automation, delivering exceptional results in a challenging environment. My contributions significantly improved efficiency, scalability, and customer satisfaction.
