7+ years building resilient cloud platforms that scale. A daily practice that grounds me. Writing as a way to reflect, express, and stay connected to life’s experiences.
// career
7+ years building cloud infrastructure and developer platforms that keep production running — reliably, scalably, and quietly.
Led cloud infrastructure and platform engineering initiatives for internal products and international enterprise clients, building scalable, secure, and developer-friendly cloud platforms across AWS and Kubernetes ecosystems. Focused on infrastructure standardization, platform architecture, automation, governance, cost optimization, and internal developer experience.
Cloud infrastructure, DevOps, and platform engineering for Pixxel’s hyperspectral data and geospatial platforms on AWS. Focused on scalable IaC, CI/CD automation, cloud security, observability, and multi-account platform architecture supporting globally distributed products and internal engineering teams.
Industrial IoT, monitoring, and cloud deployment solutions for enterprise clients across AWS and Azure. Focused on analytics dashboards, real-time monitoring systems, deployment automation, and DevOps support for production-grade client applications.
Industrial automation and manufacturing control systems — delivering end-to-end automation solutions for factory environments. Focused on PLC/HMI programming, system design, on-site deployment, and hardware integration.
// toolkit
The tools I reach for every day — and the ones I reach for when those break.
SLO/SLA ownership, load testing, chaos engineering, auto-scaling strategies, and post-incident analysis to keep systems fast and stable under pressure.
Cloud spend analysis, resource right-sizing, spot instance strategies, and FinOps practices to optimise infrastructure costs without compromising reliability.
// writing
Tech deep-dives, reflections on practice, and the occasional poem.
How reproducibility, automation, and scale come together through Terraform, Pulumi, and Ansible.
The difference between monitoring, logging, and tracing — and why all three matter.
Some mornings the pipeline passes and I sit very still, just breathing.
// practice
The cloud taught me structure. The practice taught me presence.
My wellness journey is rooted in yoga, pranayama (breathwork), and dhyana (meditation) — together, they form my sadhana, a grounding practice that continues to shape how I live, think, work, and move through life.
Through the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, mindful living, and experiences across people, cultures, and spiritual traditions, I’ve learned that growth often lies in awareness, consistency, kindness, and learning to live consciously.
“365 - 1 = 0.”
A reminder shared by my teacher — every single day matters. Showing up for yourself matters.
Movement, discipline, balance, and awareness.
Breathwork for clarity, steadiness, and calm.
Meditation and the practice of stillness.
“The practice is not only on the mat.
It is in how we choose to live.”
I write about emotions, mindful living, and the quiet things that shape us — people, travel, conversations, culture, philosophy, observations, and the experiences that leave us a little more aware than before.
Slowing down has taught me that growth is rarely loud — sometimes it is simply returning to the breath, to awareness, and to yourself.
