Pushkar Joshi — SRE (Site Reliability Engineer)

I'm a founding team member of Palindrome, where we've built an AI-native platform that transforms how wealth managers and private banks operate. I focus on creating and maintaining a robust cloud infrastructure, enabling our GenAI solutions to deliver seamless, secure experiences. Our platform at Palindrome eliminates time-consuming manual processes throughout the client journey, transforming everything from client onboarding to review cycles, risk assessments, and regulatory compliance. This technology empowers financial firms to expand their business, enhance client service, and substantially reduce administrative burden. We currently support institutions collectively managing assets exceeding $120B. Prior to Palindrome, I was a Senior Site Reliability Engineer at DeepIntent, where I spearheaded the implementation of Kubernetes clusters on AWS and reduced incident response time by 40% through advanced monitoring solutions. Before that, at Vuclip India, I managed 40+ GKE Kubernetes clusters and orchestrated a major data center to GCP migration involving over 300TB of data. Throughout my 9+ year career, I've engineered cloud infrastructure solutions across media, advertising, insurance, and financial sectors. My most significant technical contributions include: Designing high-availability cloud architectures that maintained 99.99% uptime during critical migrations while supporting mission-critical applications. Creating comprehensive monitoring ecosystems with Prometheus, Grafana, and AlertManager that reduced mean time to resolution by 70% and provided actionable insights. Implementing infrastructure as code with Terraform across multiple cloud providers, ensuring consistent, secure, and scalable deployments. Developing automated CI/CD pipelines that accelerated deployment cycles from days to hours while strengthening security posture. I've earned certifications including AWS Solutions Architect, Google Cloud Professional Architect, Kubernetes Administrator (CKA), Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD), HashiCorp Certified Terraform Associate, and Red Hat Certified System Administrator. I thrive on tackling complex infrastructure challenges that deliver tangible business value—combining technical depth with a customer-centric approach to build reliable, efficient, and secure systems that scale.
