About Me

I'm an AIOps Engineer and Site Reliability Engineer with 5+ years operating and automating production systems across AWS, Azure, and GCP. My focus for the last 3+ years has been AIOps: building observability platforms that don't just show dashboards, but actively correlate signals, cut alert noise, and help teams find and fix problems faster, often before they page anyone.

I work across the full production lifecycle designing Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure, building CI/CD pipelines, running incident response and on-call rotations, and writing the automation that keeps systems self-healing. More recently, that has extended into AI engineering: monitoring LLM/SLM inference workloads, detecting model drift, and building agentic and LLM reasoning based automation for operational tasks.

role:        AIOps Engineer / AI Forward Deployed Engineer / SRE
experience:  5+ years in production engineering & platform observability
focus:       Observability · Kubernetes · Multi-Cloud · AI-Powered Automation
believes_in: "If it's not observable, it's not production-ready."

What I Work On

  • AIOps & Observability Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/Splunk, CloudWatch, AI-assisted anomaly detection, SLO/SLI & error-budget engineering
  • Cloud & Platform Engineering AWS, Azure, GCP, OpenStack, Kubernetes, multi-cloud architecture
  • Production Reliability (SRE) incident management, RCA, blameless postmortems, on-call leadership, resiliency patterns
  • AI Engineering LLM/SLM inference monitoring, model drift detection, AI model integration, agentic automation

How I Work

  • Automate the toil first, then automate the response
  • Alerts should mean something tune for signal, not noise
  • Every incident gets an RCA and a follow-up, not just a fix Infrastructure and policy belong in code and version control Small, safe, reversible changes over bigbang deployments

Featured Projects

Enterprise client project names are confidential, so the work below is my own engineering built to demonstrate the same production-grade patterns (observability, AIOps, IaC, safe automation) I apply professionally.

Production-style multi-cloud observability platform for an agentic AI commerce system.

Monitors 4 Kubernetes clusters across AWS, Azure, and GCP, covering 13 AI agents, 7 adversarial "anti-agents," 6 small language models on a GPU serving fleet, and a PCI-scoped payment path entirely defined as Infrastructure as Code.

  • Designed a Prometheus + Thanos + Grafana + Alertmanager stack with a two-tier query model: local Prometheus per cluster for pod-level debugging, global Thanos Query for cross-cluster SLO evaluation
  • Built 8 Grafana dashboards (146 panels) and multi-window, multi-burn-rate SLO alerting (fast/slow burn, budget tickets) so paging is proportional to how fast error budget is actually being consumed
  • Defined agent-specific SLIs with no classical equivalent grounding score, hallucination rate, safety-review coverage, KV-cache saturation to catch failure modes standard RED-metric monitoring misses entirely
  • Enforced cardinality and label governance (forbidden high-cardinality labels dropped at ingest, CI-validated recording-rule naming) and PCI-aware payment SLIs that separate system failures from customer card declines
  • Delivered fully as Terraform-provisioned, Git-reviewed infrastructure dashboards and alerts are version-controlled, never edited by hand in the UI

An AIOps control loop that reasons about production incidents and fixes them safely.

Ingests Prometheus/Alertmanager alerts, classifies them, and decides on a remediation using deterministic playbooks combined with a local LLM (Ollama) reasoning layer then executes it against Kubernetes through a pluggable executor, with every action guarded and audited.

  • Built the alert → classify → LLM-analyze → decide → execute → record control loop as an async FastAPI service with typed, testable modules
  • Added safety guardrails: rate limiting, blast-radius caps, dry-run mode, and human-approval gates, so an autonomous remediation system stays trustworthy rather than a liability
  • Implemented an incident memory with similarity search so the system recognizes recurring failure patterns and improves its remediation suggestions over time
  • Provisioned the underlying platform with Terraform (AWS EKS) and Helm, with linting, type-checking, tests, and Terraform plan wired into CI/CD (GitHub Actions)

Serverless order-processing architecture on AWS, built infrastructure-first.

A modular serverless system using Lambda, API Gateway, Step Functions, DynamoDB, and SQS to validate, store, and fulfill customer orders with failure handling as a first-class concern, not an afterthought.

  • Designed a Step Functions-orchestrated order workflow with a dead-letter queue and failed-orders table so bad orders are caught, retried, and made visible rather than silently dropped
  • Authored the entire platform in Terraform, including remote state locking (S3 + DynamoDB) across environments
  • Built a CodePipeline/CodeBuild CI/CD pipeline with a Terraform plan stage, a manual approval gate, and an apply stage plus SNS notifications on pipeline state changes
  • Wrote an automated test suite covering both successful order flows and DLQ/failure-handling paths, verified against real CloudWatch alarms and dashboards

End-to-end CI/CD pipeline: Jenkins, Docker, and AWS EC2.

  • Built a Jenkins multibranch pipeline that builds and tags Docker images differently per branch (dev vs masterprod) and pushes them to Docker Hub
  • Automated deployment to an AWS EC2 instance, triggered on merge to master, with GitHub webhook integration for fully hands-off delivery
  • Configured monitoring on the deployment target as part of the same pipeline

Full-stack AI agent product: voice-based, personalized learning experiences.

  • Integrated Vapi.ai for real-time voice interactions with AI tutoring companions, built on Next.js, TypeScript, and Convex for real-time backend/state
  • Implemented authentication and subscription billing via Kinde, with progress analytics and session history
  • Containerized and deployed the platform to AWS ECS Fargate for production hosting

Career Highlights

  • Led an AIOps/SRE pod sustaining 99.95% platform availability across 140+ microservices on multi-cloud Kubernetes, serving 12M+ requests/day
  • Cut alert noise by 58% and reduced average MTTR from 45 to 19 minutes by consolidating monitoring into a unified observability stack with AI-assisted anomaly detection
  • Redesigned CI/CD pipelines with blue/green and canary gates, taking deployment frequency from twice weekly to daily while cutting rollback incidents by 35%
  • Built observability pipelines for AI/ML inference platforms processing 3M+ requests/day across 40+ LLM/SLM-serving services
  • Authored Python/Bash self-healing automation removing ~20 engineer-hours/week of manual operational work
