Principal Member of Technical Staff (IC4) — Cloud Platform & SRE
Oracle Corporation
- Designed and owned the multi-cluster Kubernetes (OKE) platform architecture serving 50+ production microservices, defining reference architectures, landing zones, and multi-region strategies covering compute, networking (VCN, load balancing, ingress), storage, and IAM — achieving 99.99% availability.
- Built an internal developer platform (IDP) providing self-service infrastructure, golden-path workflows, and paved-road Terraform modules — reducing provisioning timelines from days to under one hour and enabling engineering teams to ship without platform-team dependency.
- Established composable, reusable Terraform IaC modules with strict immutable-infrastructure and environment-parity standards; all infrastructure changes peer-reviewed and deployed through automated pipelines — zero manual/console modifications.
- Defined and enforced multi-region cloud networking architecture including VPC design, load balancing, DNS, and ingress patterns; architected service-mesh integration for east-west traffic security and observability.
- Designed and maintained end-to-end secure delivery pipelines (build → test → scan → deploy) with GitOps-based promotion via Helm and ArgoCD, implementing canary releases, blue/green deployments, rollback automation, and feature-flag-gated rollouts.
- Embedded shift-left security throughout the SDLC: SAST/DAST integration, container image and dependency vulnerability scanning, secrets detection, and IaC security scanning — cutting critical CVE remediation MTTR by 80%.
- Implemented policy-as-code guardrails (OPA/Conftest) and automated compliance gates within CI/CD pipelines, enforcing security and governance pre-deployment rather than post-fact; introduced SBOM generation and artifact signing to harden the software supply chain.
- Drove automated drift detection, pre-apply IaC validation, and compliance-as-code checks across all infrastructure changes, ensuring reproducible, auditable deployments.
- Defined and operationalised SLIs, SLOs, and error budgets across 50+ platform services; used error- budget policy to objectively balance feature velocity against reliability investment.
- Built SLO-aligned observability and alerting stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry) — substantially reducing alert noise and improving MTTD/MTTR; championed blameless post-incident reviews and structured incident-management practices.
- Led L2/L3 major-incident response and capacity-planning exercises; drove reliability improvements through chaos/resilience testing and systematic toil elimination.
- Set technical direction for cloud platform modernisation across multiple distributed engineering teams; governed architectural standards, conducted design reviews, and drove alignment across product, security, networking, and backend stakeholders.
- Mentored senior and mid-level engineers through code/design reviews and knowledge-sharing sessions; raised engineering bar on IaC standards, GitOps practices, and DevSecOps culture.
- Produced level-of-effort estimates, managed platform initiative delivery timelines, and reported on operational health and programme status to senior leadership.
Senior Software Engineer — Platform & CI/CD Engineering
Nokia Networks
- Scaled CI/CD and deployment automation workflows for large-scale distributed telecom platforms, improving release predictability and operational stability across production environments globally.
- Collaborated with international backend engineering and security teams to troubleshoot critical production performance incidents; owned L2/L3 debugging and post-incident analysis.
- Automated deployment workflows and build-engineering pipelines — reducing manual release effort and improving delivery efficiency; established operational guardrails and quality gates.
Senior Software Engineer — Infrastructure & Release Engineering
Sasken Technologies
- Reduced software release cycle timelines by ~80% by automating deployment workflows, version control processes, and operational health checks for distributed telecom infrastructure platforms.
- Developed automation for infrastructure monitoring, recovery workflows, and platform maintenance — improving operational resilience and engineering efficiency.
