๐Ÿงญ About Me

I'm a hands-on SRE with a strong focus on automating reliability, improving developer workflows, and embedding observability at the heart of everything I build. My journey has taken me through designing multi-tenant Kubernetes platforms, implementing GitOps pipelines, and operationalizing cloud-native architectures at scale.

๐Ÿ“Œ Current Focus

  • ๐Ÿ”ง Building a openfeature compitable Feature Flag Management Platform called flagctl, which can help enterprises to manage the feture flags from one place.
  • ๐Ÿ”ง Building a developer utility CLI in Go to reduce engineering toil (devctl)
  • ๐Ÿ”ง Building terraform and Monaco driven Observability As Code strategy with Dynatrace,
  • ๐Ÿ“ˆ Integrating SLO-driven alerting into Kubernetes clusters with Datadog and Microservices

๐Ÿงฐ Featured Projects

This repository is the single source of truth for Dynatrace observability across all services in the ADO project. It owns two distinct layers, a platform layer which is applied once by the SRE team via Terraform. and an application layer which is scaffolded into every service repo automatically by the bootstrap pipeline and deployed continuously by Argo CD.

๐Ÿ”น devctl

A pluggable Go-based CLI tool for SREs and developers to perform quick actions like health checks, Git/K8s helpers, Slack notifications, and more.

A highly available EKS cluster setup used terraform blueprints with AWS with support on Istio and Crossplane.. More features to be added.

๐Ÿ”น infra-automation

Terraform Modules for multiple AWS services and ready to setup devloper to production envrionments.
