About

I am a Strategic Engineering Leader with over 16+ years of experience building and scaling high-performance SRE, Cloud Platform, and DevOps organisations for global industry leaders like Okta, Boeing, and VMware. My expertise lies in bridging the gap between complex infrastructure and business value, transforming cost centres into innovation engines. I specialise in treating "Platform-as-Product"—delivering robust Internal Developer Platforms (IDP) that reduce cognitive load and accelerate developer velocity. I have a proven track record of scaling mission-critical SaaS infrastructure to 99.999% availability while orchestrating global FinOps programs that deliver millions in cost savings. Core Leadership Competencies: Organisational Scaling: Built Boeing’s Cloud Platform org from ground zero to 30+ members; currently leading global SRE functions at Okta. Operational Excellence: Reduced MTTR by 85% through AI-driven predictive stability and self-healing protocols. FinOps & Governance: Delivered over $1M in cloud savings within 90 days. Tech Stack: AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, Spinnaker, ArgoCD. I am passionate about fostering "Automation First" cultures and mentoring top-tier talent across India, the U.S., and EMEA. I am currently seeking leadership opportunities as a Director of SRE, DevOps, or Cloud Platform Engineering.
