I deliver business outcomes at Fortune 500 scale - operating across Platform Engineering, FinOps, Developer Experience, and Open Source strategy. Across enterprise engagements, I've architected multi-cluster Kubernetes platforms with 99.9% uptime SLAs, engineered for regulatory compliance and namespace isolation with GitOps-driven provisioning.
I care about platforms that pay for themselves: infrastructure migrations delivering 40% cloud cost reductions, an AI-powered FinOps engine on AWS Bedrock that delivered $2M+ in documented savings for a single enterprise client, and data pipeline tuning that halved API calls while maintaining five-nines availability. Across engagements, that work totals $7M+ in documented infrastructure savings.
I've led architecture for enterprise Backstage.io developer platforms serving 10,000+ engineers, unified observability across Fortune 500 acquisitions, and delivered zero-downtime GitHub Enterprise migrations with full adoption of Actions, Copilot, and Codespaces. Open source runs deep: Microsoft has recognized me as a GitHub Star three years running - the 2nd from India.

From India's first DevOps specialization to Fortune 500 platforms - a decade of compounding.
Enrolled in UPES (batch of 2021) for a B.Tech in Computer Science with a specialization in DevOps - the first academic program of its kind in India, built through a partnership that gave early access to Infrastructure as Code, containerization, GitOps, and the open-source ecosystem years before my first job. That head start shaped everything.
Joined StatusNeo as its founding engineer on Day 0 - during my third year of college. Built the initial web presence, ran social channels, shaped the company's open-source evangelism, hosted webinars, and spoke at conferences. Simultaneously taught 1,000+ students across India on GitHub, contributed 10,000+ changes, and became one of the most active open-source contributors in the country.
Recognized as a GitHub Star by Microsoft in February 2021 - 38th in the world, 2nd in India. Graduated with a Gold Medal, first of 900 CSE students (9.64 CGPA). Joined StatusNeo full-time, working with India's largest telecom on their AI Exchange platform under the Chief Data Architect - Azure infrastructure, Kubernetes orchestration, and ML model serving. Also began contributing upstream to Backstage, Spotify's developer portal and now a CNCF incubating project used by 20M+ developers.
Promoted to team lead for Developer Experience at a Fortune 500 gaming enterprise. First international delivery across UAE and UK. GitHub Stars recognition for the second consecutive year.
Led platform modernization for a Fortune 500 semiconductor company - DevEx, DORA metrics improvement, and US EO-14028 SBOM compliance across all business units affecting 10,000+ engineers. First of many US trips. GitHub Star for the third consecutive year.
Promoted to Platform Engineering Architect. Relocated to New York. Joined a Fortune 500 hospitality enterprise where the data team ran entirely manual processes - established platform standards, built automation and security practices, delivered 40% compute cost reduction, migrated off a legacy orchestrator saving $650K+ in licensing, and drove multiple platform improvements. Spoke at SREDays London and San Francisco.
Expanded scope to support pre-sales and delivery across the Americas - winning GitHub Enterprise modernization and platform engineering engagements across Fortune 500 insurance, consumer health, and cloud software companies. Conference circuit reached four cities across three countries.
Appointed Practice Leader for FinAIOps, Platform Engineering and Observability at StatusNeo - building the practice from India HQ with a global remit. Spoke at conferences in London, New York, San Francisco, and Seattle. Relocated back to Gurugram. Now taking the practice to market across five regions.
Opinions formed in production, held loosely, argued strongly.
If your platform team can't point at a number, it's a cost center with good branding. Mine points at multi-million dollars across engagements.
Onboarding from 4 weeks to 3 days isn't a dev tool win - it's a hiring, retention, and velocity win. DevEx compounds at the org level.
Nobody cares how many nodes you run. They care about uptime, cost reduction, and time-to-market. Measure what the business measures.
10,000+ contributions taught me more than any degree. A merged PR builds skills, reputation, and community simultaneously.
The highest praise a platform can get is silence - nobody files tickets about a system they forgot exists.
One contribution a day, one conversation a week, one talk a quarter. That's how a college student in Dehradun ends up on stage at Fortune 500 conferences in four countries.
Unmanaged, a platform is noise. Every team ships its own way, every environment drifts, and each incident arrives as a surprise.
Instrumented, noise becomes signal. One platform, one set of paved paths, one place to look when something moves.
Engineered, the signal settles. Disturbance still arrives - it always does. The difference is that the system absorbs it.
Scroll to run the platform forward. Move your cursor across the panel to disturb it.
