About me

SRE with 8+ years designing and operating large-scale distributed systems at Intuit. I've built platforms serving 500+ microservices and millions of users, with deep focus on Kubernetes, chaos engineering, and GitOps. Born and raised in India, moved to the US in 2012 for my Masters'. Outside work I follow Tennis and Cricket — and try to get in a set or two when I can.
