Hey there 👋

Good to see you. I care about the whole path — how something is designed, shipped, and kept running in production — and I build in the open when I can.

I'm a DevOps and Platform Engineer with end-to-end ownership across the product lifecycle—how teams design, ship, deploy, operate, and improve software in production. My day-to-day work sits at the intersection of platform engineering, DevOps, cloud engineering, AI/ML deployments, and MLOps, with a focus on reliability, security, and measurable business outcomes.

What I do today: DevOps, platform engineering, cloud-native architecture, and production ML/MLOps infrastructure. What I've done: architecture design for distributed systems, and operating production platforms under real traffic and commercial load. What I'm building toward: full-stack application development, AI engineering, and stronger software engineering practices—I learn and write code in personal time through side projects and open source. I collaborate closely with product, engineering, and operations teams—on-site, hybrid, or remote, depending on what the role and team need.

Revenue platforms US$90M+ AdTech; US$5M+ POS across 200+ retail stores
Current Working on platform infrastructure for an early-stage AI-Powered CI SaaS on GCP — SOC 2-enabled controls, GitHub PR-driven delivery (Atlantis + ArgoCD), up to 80% faster CI

💼 Where I've Done It

DevOps Engineer · Full-time · Mar 2026 – Present

Working on platform infrastructure and deployment for an early-stage AI-Powered CI SaaS on Google Cloud—SOC 2-enabled controls, GitHub PR-driven delivery (Atlantis + ArgoCD), and production observability.

Impact: up to 80% faster CI · SOC 2-enabled Zero Trust · 13% spend reduction · every Kubernetes and infra change through a PR.

Purplle.com — DevOps Engineer · Jan 2023 – Feb 2026

Owned production infrastructure and platform work for India's leading beauty e-commerce company—core commerce, AdTech, POS, data/ML platforms, and legacy admin systems. Hybrid GCP + AWS production (e.g. GKE workloads with Route 53, ALB, VPC, and WAF on AWS for AdTech and edge traffic).

Impact: US$160M+ business backbone · 10M+ users · 40%+ faster code delivery · 76% MTTR reduction · US$120K+ savings (30% cloud spend cut) · 99.9% availability through peak traffic.


Featured Projects

Work I build in the open. This is the project I want you to look at first.

Open source, in active development. Grid is a tool you run yourself to manage infrastructure across clouds.

What should exist, what is actually running, and who changed it usually live in different consoles, scripts, and tickets. Grid is the place that holds that together. You describe the infrastructure you want. Grid creates it, changes it, and removes it the same way on every cloud, then shows you the result: what is deployed, what is in progress, and what needs attention.

You keep the infrastructure. Grid does not host it for you, and you can keep operating what it created if you stop using Grid.

The flow — how a change goes from what you asked for to something running — is on gridplatform.org. How it is built is in the write-up.

🛠️ How I Build

Production focus: Terraform, Ansible, Helm, Argo CD, Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions · Kubernetes · OpenTelemetry

Cloud platforms (production experience on GCP and AWS):

Area GCP AWS
Compute & containers GKE, Cloud Run, Compute Engine EKS, ECS/Fargate, EC2
Networking & edge Cloud Load Balancing, Cloud DNS, VPC, Cloud Armor ALB, Route 53, VPC, WAF
Data & messaging Cloud SQL, Pub/Sub, BigQuery RDS, SNS/SQS, Athena
Identity & secrets IAM, Secret Manager IAM, Secrets Manager
Observability Cloud Monitoring, OpenTelemetry CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry

Production hybrid: GKE workloads with AWS edge networking (Route 53, ALB, VPC, WAF) at Purplle; current AI-Powered CI SaaS platform work on GCP. Kubernetes and IaC patterns apply across both clouds.

Data & AI (deployments / infra): MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, Kafka, Qdrant, Vertex AI
Security: Zero Trust, RBAC, secrets management, compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001, DPDP)

Learning & personal time: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node.js, FastAPI—full-stack and AI application patterns through side projects and open source.
