About

Engineering reliability meets program strategy — empowering teams to deliver with precision and purpose. With over 18+ years of experience across NVIDIA, Dell, Veritas, NICE, Mphasis, and Atos, I’ve built my career around Linux, open source, and large-scale infrastructure reliability. My journey from Linux administration to DevOps and Site Reliability Engineering has given me deep expertise in automation, cloud platforms, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and performance optimization—ensuring systems that are both scalable and secure. I’m now focused on expanding my impact beyond technical delivery—toward leadership and program strategy. With a strong background in cloud operations, incident management, and cross-functional collaboration, I see the Technical Program Manager path as a natural next step that aligns with my ability to bridge engineering execution with business outcomes. Outside of work, I stay active in tech communities, continuously learning, mentoring, and contributing to discussions around open source, DevOps culture, and program management excellence.
