About

Based in India, open to relocation. I specialise in the intersection of bare-metal infrastructure and cloud-native orchestration — whether that's designing BGP EVPN/VXLAN fabrics on SONiC & Cumulus Linux, operating self-managed Kubernetes clusters for AI/ML workloads, or engineering Redfish-driven provisioning automation for 100+ server fleets. Internationally deployed for enterprise data-center build-outs in Bangkok and IBM Research Triangle Park, USA.

Experience

Cloud Infrastructure Architect
Persistent Systems
Sep 2016 – Present · 9+ yrs
  • Architected AWS multi-account landing zones using Control Tower and SCPs — security guardrails, VPC segmentation, and network topology standards across dev/staging/prod.
  • Designed and operated BGP EVPN/VXLAN overlay fabrics on SONiC and Cumulus Linux (Mellanox hardware), providing multi-tenant L2/L3 isolation across bare-metal and cloud-connected clusters.
  • Built and operated production Kubernetes clusters (EKS & self-managed) — RBAC, resource quotas, auto-scaling, namespace governance. Managed Netezza Performance Server lifecycle via Kubernetes Operators across AWS, Azure, and OpenShift.
  • Engineered Python/Redfish automation suites to provision and configure 100+ enterprise servers end-to-end, cutting provisioning time by 60% and eliminating manual errors.
  • Designed end-to-end CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins + GitHub Actions) with embedded security gates, compliance checks, and automated testing enabling GitOps delivery across multi-cloud.
  • Deployed high-availability MCLAG/ISL active-active network fabrics with PortChannel aggregation, providing sub-second failover and zero-downtime maintenance windows.
  • International on-site deployments: Bangkok, Thailand (20+ rack IBM Netezza enterprise deployments across 2 DC sites) and IBM Research Triangle Park, USA.
