I help AI startups and SaaS companies build and scale cloud-native infrastructure — without the cost of a full-time CTO.

I design and implement production-grade platforms that are scalable, secure, and built for real-world usage — not just demos. My work spans Kubernetes, MLOps, Agentic AI systems, DevSecOps, multi-cloud architecture, and fractional CTO engagements with teams across four continents.

I have helped teams reduce infrastructure costs by 60%, achieve 99.9% uptime SLAs, and ship AI systems that actually run in production — not just demos.

Before going deep into cloud infrastructure, I organized treks to remote Himalayan villages, co-founded an AgriTech startup, and collaborated with NGOs across India. That journey gave me something no certification can teach — the ability to stay grounded and creative when complexity peaks.

I bring enterprise-grade security thinking to every infrastructure engagement — not as an afterthought, but as a core design principle.

Key engagements & capabilities:

• Government Judicial Institution — Designed and delivered cloud and cybersecurity infrastructure for a judicial body requiring enterprise security architecture, compliance-aware design, and zero-tolerance reliability
• DevSecOps pipelines — SAST/DAST integration, secrets management (HashiCorp Vault), container image scanning, and policy enforcement via OPA/Gatekeeper
• Zero-trust architecture — Network segmentation, identity-aware access, and workload identity across multi-cloud environments
• Kubernetes security hardening — CKS-level: pod security admission, RBAC design, runtime threat detection (Falco), and audit logging
• Compliance frameworks — SOC2, HIPAA, DORA, and government-grade security standards

I train engineering teams and consult on Kubernetes adoption — from fundamentals to enterprise-scale platform engineering.

Training programmes I deliver:

Consulting engagements:

• Kubernetes platform design and architecture reviews
• Migration from Docker Compose / bare VMs to Kubernetes
• GitOps implementation with ArgoCD and Flux
• Cost optimisation and right-sizing in production clusters
• Incident response and reliability engineering

"The best systems are invisible. They scale quietly, fail gracefully, and let teams focus on what actually matters."

"After deciding that a corporate job would drain my creative fuel, I set out to explore — Himalayan treks, an AgriTech startup, NGO work. Along the way I picked up something no resume captures: the ability to hold complexity and stay calm inside it."
