"You didn't notice anything.That was the job."

Five years keeping production boring — three and a half of them on 24/7 streaming infrastructure at Warner Bros. Discovery, and the last stretch as the infrastructure owner for a six-brand iGaming operator where a bad deploy is measured in revenue per minute. I build the layer nobody thinks about until it's gone: pipelines, clusters, edge, observability, and the pager that wakes someone up.

Open to lead, senior DevOps, SRE and platform engineering conversations. Based out of India, operating remotely worldwide — and open to relocation for the right team. I care most about owning a system end to end rather than a slice of one.
