About

I am a Technology Leader specializing in building self-healing, cloud-native ecosystems for high-growth FinTech enterprises. I currently lead an organization of global engineers building Reliability, Automation, and Incident Management platforms. My core philosophy is that Reliability should be a feature, not an afterthought while building applications. My experience lies in: Strategic Innovation: I bridge the gap between Product vision and Engineering execution. I architected a unified Reliability Ecosystem on AWS that reduced critical incidents by ~90% and established a sub-15 minute RTO via automated failover. AI & Modernization: I recently spearheaded the integration of LLMs (GenAI) into our incident management lifecycle to automate problem summarization and reduce cognitive load on engineering teams. Patent-Driven Engineering: I am a hands-on technologist with 7 US Patents in operation automation, reliability and resilience (including "Runbooks-as-a-Service"). People Culture First: I strive to lead with humility and curiosity. I was honored with the "Best People Leader" award (2023) for building a high-performing culture rooted in psychological safety. Core Competencies: Director-Level Strategy | Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) | Generative AI & LangChain | AWS Architecture | FinTech & Compliance | Large Scale Distributed Systems Open to connecting with fellow leaders in the Resilience and AI space.
