About

I have experience in building software systems on top of AWS compute and storage. In past years I have gained and managed various distributed container orchestration systems for AWS customers. I have huge interest in storage systems specially related to time series data, or working with large scale data based services. I have built and have interest in working in the observability domain, which helps organisations save cost and makes developers efficient.
