I'm a Senior DevOps and Platform Engineer with 6+ years of experience designing and operating production-grade Kubernetes platforms on AWS, GCP, and Azure.
My work lives at the intersection of platform reliability, developer experience, and cloud economics — building infrastructure that lets teams ship faster without worrying about what's underneath.
A few things I've shipped:
- 🚀 AI/ML platform on AWS EKS — serving 10+ data science teams at 99.9% availability
- ⚡ High-throughput Temporal system — validated at 6,000 RPS on Kubernetes
- 💰 45% cloud cost reduction — across AWS, GCP, and Azure through FinOps practices
- 📊 Full-stack observability — Prometheus + Thanos + Grafana + Loki + Tempo + OpenTelemetry across multi-cluster environments
- 🏅 CNCF Ambassador — Cloud Native Computing Foundation
- ⚡ AWS Community Builder — Containers Category (2026)
- ☸️ KCD Kochi 2026 Organiser — Kerala's Kubernetes Community Day (April 18, 2026)
- 🛠️ Co-founder, DevOps Malayalam — community for Malayalam-speaking DevOps practitioners
- 🌏 Organiser, CNCF Cloud Native Community Group (CNCG) Trivandrum
- 📅 100+ events coordinated across Kerala — Kubernetes, GitOps, platform engineering, cloud fundamentals
