About Me

Engineer, DREAMER, Writer

For the past three decades, I've had the privilege of both observing, enjoying, celebrating and actively contributing to the many transformations in the vast & dynamic realm of technology. I've envisioned, architected, built and run several mission critical ultra high volume, ultra low latency systems that were the backbone of large Fortune 500 global institutions. 


While I've been fortunate to delve deep into the architectural, procedural, and technological trends of the past 20 years, I hold in equal regard the moments spent mentoring, guiding, and collaborating with bright minds. Software development, in my eyes, is a dance between nurturing human potential and crafting efficient code. As deeply as I am immersed in the world of software and architecture, I've always held a profound belief: at the heart of any groundbreaking innovation are the people who breathe life into it. I've always envisioned my role not merely as a developer or architect but as a catalyst, helping others to realize their potential and manifest their unique visions.


Yet, amidst all these experiences, my journey is far from over. My keen desire to continue to learn and grow is insatiable. Every day presents a new lesson, a fresh perspective, and I am ever-eager to absorb, adapt, and share. But this passion isn't just inward-facing; I am deeply committed to fostering growth in others, to sharing knowledge, and to collectively advancing in our understanding and capabilities.


While I take pride in the systems and solutions I've been a part of, I'm equally humbled and inspired by the talented individuals I've had the chance to work alongside. Today, I see myself not merely as a repository of knowledge but as a lifelong learner, an enthusiast of both software and the human spirit, perpetually eager to build, share, and grow in harmony with others.


This site is my humble attempt to share the lessons I learnt and my experiences with Site Reliability Engineering with you all.


Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it :)
