Forward Deployed Engineer | Applied AI Engineering & Site Reliability Leadership

I am a Senior Site Reliability Engineer and Technical Lead with more than 16 years of experience embedded in a global financial-services production environment. I work directly with engineering, product, and business stakeholders to discover operational problems, prototype practical solutions, and deploy dependable systems into production.

I have led observability, incident-management, performance-engineering, and reliability programs supporting more than 15 services with 99.9%+ availability. My work has reduced mean time to detect by approximately 35%, reduced production performance incidents by approximately 45%, and improved recovery outcomes through automated remediation, SLOs, error budgets, and blameless root-cause analysis.

I bring deep AWS, DevOps, cloud infrastructure, containerization, CI/CD, performance testing, and chaos-engineering experience. I have designed fault-tolerant multi-region infrastructure, automated deployment pipelines, implemented Infrastructure as Code, and led capacity planning for significant traffic growth.

I am also an engineering leader who has grown and mentored a cross-functional team of more than 12 SRE and performance engineers. I lead incident response, Agile delivery, on-call standards, and cross-functional reliability initiatives while aligning technical outcomes with business availability goals.

In 2026, I expanded my focus into applied AI engineering. I build end-to-end LLM systems including RAG services, LoRA fine-tuning workflows, evaluation datasets, AI agent workflows, and production observability for AI applications.

I am focused on forward-deployed engineering opportunities where I can combine customer problem discovery, rapid prototyping, client delivery, and production-grade AI or reliability engineering.
