About

As a Staff Software Engineer and Cloud Architect with 8 years of experience, I specialize in building the scalable backend systems and application layers for Generative AI (GenAI) and cloud-native platforms. My passion is defining the technical vision and leading teams to build cutting-edge solutions that bridge the gap between complex AI models and user-facing features. I recently co-founded and architected a Generative SEO platform on GCP , designing content ingestion and ranking pipelines for systems like ChatGPT Atlas Search and Perplexity Search, which improved organic reach by ~40%. My expertise is in translating vision into reality using Python (Expert), Go (Expert), Kubernetes, and Terraform. I have deep, hands-on experience designing cloud-agnostic architectures (AWS, GCP, Azure) and building the robust MLOps/AIOps pipelines required to optimize performance, drive cost efficiencies (by ~25%) , and reduce release cycles from days to hours. I am always interested in discussing new challenges in distributed systems, cloud architecture, and the practical application of Generative AI. Core Competencies: šŸ”¹ Generative AI (LLMs, LangChain, NLP) šŸ”¹ Cloud Architecture (AWS, GCP, Azure) & Cloud-Agnostic Design šŸ”¹ Containerization & Orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker, EKS) šŸ”¹ MLOps & AIOps (Kubeflow, TensorFlow, Prometheus, Grafana) šŸ”¹ Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Atlantis) šŸ”¹ Backend Engineering (Python, Go, Java, Microservices) šŸ”¹ DevOps & CI/CD (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, GitOps)

  • AIOps for Platform Reliability:
  • I architected and implemented a zero-downtime EKS upgrade solution using Terraform and CI/CD.
  • This system integrated AIOps principles, using predictive health checks and automated rollback mechanisms based on anomaly detection.
  • The result was 99.9% uptime for critical services and a 30% reduction in manual intervention.
  • I also developed an AIOps solution for proactive incident management that reduced critical alert noise by 50% and improved Mean Time To Detection (MTTD) by 25%.
  • MLOps for Cost & Resource Optimization:
  • I designed, developed, and deployed a TensorFlow model on Kubernetes to predict cloud resource patterns, directly leading to a 15-20% reduction in operational costs.
  • I engineered the full MLOps pipeline for automated model retraining and deployment.
  • I also architected a standardized, cloud-agnostic (AWS/GCP) resource management process that improved operational efficiency by 20%.
  • Security and Technical Leadership:
  • I led the technical vision and execution of migrating a critical HashiCorp Vault cluster to AWS EKS, enhancing scalability to support 30% request growth.
  • I provided mentorship and guidance to engineers on Kubernetes security, IaC principles, and emerging MLOps/AIOps practices.

  • Platform Automation & Orchestration:
  • I led the design of a Firewall as a Service (FWAAS) by orchestrating multi-region Points of Presence (PoPs) with Terraform and Python, enhancing scalability for 50% traffic growth and cutting provisioning time by 40%.
  • I also developed a scalable, multi-tenant engine management system, automating resource orchestration and scaling for new tenants. This reduced operational costs by 15% and improved deployment speed by 60%.
  • Security & MLOps:
  • I implemented a full MLOps pipeline for the Secure Web Gateway (SWG), automating the lifecycle of ML-based threat intelligence models. This resulted in a 30% faster rollout of new security policies.
  • I also drove DevOps security practices by implementing automated patching for EKS clusters, which reduced vulnerability exposure by 60%.
  • Reliability & Observability:
  • To ensure platform reliability, I engineered a fault-tolerant, distributed DNS architecture using AWS Route 53, which cut customer-reported DNS issues by 90%.
  • I built a comprehensive monitoring pipeline using Prometheus, Grafana, and ELK, and enhanced real-time observability by integrating 1000eyes webhooks, enabling 25% faster incident identification.
  • I also contributed to a disaster recovery blueprint for cross-regional database replication, achieving an RTO of under 15 minutes.
