01 / About
The architect
behind the
systems.
Solutions Engineer and Technical Architect with nearly 6 years designing, architecting, and delivering cloud-native, distributed platforms. My work spans presales solutioning, Kubernetes infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and full-stack observability.
At Chimera Technologies, I built OptiBoot — an internal developer platform that standardized microservice bootstrapping across teams, and led an enterprise data integration platform in a regulated healthcare environment. I also serve as Technical Architect for a global pharmaceutical enterprise, leading AI, MERN, and QA engineering teams with hands-on contributions to AI-powered systems.
When I'm not building platforms, I'm mentoring engineers and exploring AI-powered systems with LangGraph and Gemini.
