Site Reliability · Cloud Platform · DevOps
I build the engineering organisations that make cloud platforms reliable, fast and affordable.
16+ years leading SRE, Cloud Platform and DevOps teams at Guidewire, Okta, Boeing and VMware — across India, the US, EMEA and APAC. I manage through managers, run platforms as products, and treat cost as a reliability metric.

Approach
How I lead
Most reliability problems are really organisation problems. These are the habits I build into teams.
Platform as a product
Internal platforms get roadmaps, adoption metrics and a cost-to-serve number — the same discipline as customer-facing SaaS.
Leaders who build leaders
I manage through managers and build organisations that perform without me in the room.
AI-augmented, not AI-replaced
ML and LLMs where they remove toil and shorten incidents; humans stay accountable for judgment.
Cost is a reliability metric
An over-provisioned platform is a fragile business. FinOps belongs in engineering culture, not in a quarterly audit.

Error budget calculator
Every SLO is a business decision about how much unreliability you can afford. Here's what each one actually buys you.
Your SLO
Choose an availability target and a measurement window.
Availability targetBudget burn
Enter the downtime you've had this window to see how much budget is left.
Past 75% burned, I'd freeze risky releases and spend the rest of the window on reliability work.
