About

I help teams adopt observability at scale, from first instrumentation to production-grade monitoring across cloud-native systems, making complex systems visible and reliable. With a background in full-stack and cloud engineering, I’ve built and modernized distributed systems, led platform migrations, and designed developer tooling before transitioning into DevRel. In my current role at New Relic, I lead DevRel initiatives across India and the APJ region, spanning hands-on demos, workshops, technical content, and community programs. My work sits at the intersection of deep engineering and practical education, translating complex systems into actionable practices. I speak at conferences and community events, work closely with customers and partners, and focus on building repeatable DevRel programs that scale impact, not just content. Let’s chat if you’re working on observability or performance, or looking for guidance on OpenTelemetry adoption.

Lead Developer Relations Engineer, APJ

Promoted

Jul 2024 – Present · 1 yr 8 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

I lead DevRel initiatives across India and the APJ region with a focus on practical adoption: workshops that help teams get instrumented, content that’s usable in real environments, and community programs that scale over time. A big part of my role is partnering closely with Sales, Customer Adoption, and Solution Consulting to translate customer context into the right demos, enablement, and technical narratives.
Key areas I work on:
Customer enablement workshops (on-site and virtual) across observability, OpenTelemetry adoption, and full-stack instrumentation patterns (.NET, Golang, AWS, Azure AI foundry, mobile, custom instrumentations & more).
Building field-ready assets: sample apps, demos, workshop manuals, and repeatable delivery formats that reduce time-to-value for adoption teams and customers.
Technical content creation in the form of blogs, guides, and videos that focus on instrumentation, troubleshooting, dashboards, and best-practice adoption workflows.
Community programs and speaking: delivering talks and workshops at conferences/meetups across the region, and helping grow observability-focused communities through consistent programming.
Hackathon programs and enablement: designing tracks and guidelines, running enablement sessions and office hours, coordinating submissions and judging, and helping polish outcomes post-event.
Internal enablement: sessions for cross-functional teams to strengthen product understanding and improve consistency in technical storytelling and delivery.
