- Managed stability and reliability of large, distributed production systems supporting enterprise customers on Nutanix platforms at scale.
- Took ownership of high-severity production issues, digging into complex failures across multiple components to restore service quickly and reduce customer impact.
- Spent time analyzing logs, metrics, and system behavior to understand what actually went wrong.
- Performed root cause analysis on recurring and one-off issues, focusing on fixing underlying problems instead of applying short-term patches.
- Built and maintained production-like lab environments to reproduce customer issues, test fixes, and explore edge cases that only appeared under specific configurations or load.
- Worked closely with engineering teams to explain real-world failures seen in production, help debug code paths, and push fixes through to resolution.
- Identified practical workarounds and mitigations when permanent fixes weren’t immediately available.
- Streamlined platform upgrade process through automation, decreasing manual effort, mitigating upgrade-related failures, and increasing predictability in customer environments.
- Participated in on-call rotations and incident response, handling live issues, coordinating during outages, and contributing to post-incident reviews.

Projects
Worked on revamping an internal incident monitoring and ticket assignment dashboard used for tracking incident queues and engineer availability. Migrated the application from PHP to Django, improving maintainability and extensibility. Deployed the service on a Kubernetes environment to ensure higher availability, better scalability, and more reliable uptime. The system helps teams quickly identify available engineers and assign incident tickets efficiently based on real-time availability.
Certification
