About Me

Cloud Architect.
AI Strategist.
Real Results.

I'm a Cloud Solution Architect and AI Strategist based in Mumbai with over 16 years of hands-on experience — designing cloud infrastructure, embedding AI into DevOps workflows, and delivering platforms that scale.

My focus is Microsoft Azure + AI integration — using Claude, Gemini, and OpenAI to build intelligent infrastructure that detects failures, generates code, monitors costs, and makes DevOps teams dramatically faster.

Currently building two live Azure products — AzureOps AI (AI-powered DevSecOps) and BoardRoom (enterprise SaaS) — because great architecture isn't just something I talk about.

2025–Present
Founder / Architect — AzureOps AI & BoardRoom. Two live Azure products in active development.
2020–2024
Cloud Solution Architect — Enterprise hybrid cloud, multi-cloud migrations, DevOps transformation.
2016–2020
Senior Cloud Engineer — Private cloud, VMware, OpenStack, IaC automation at scale.
2009–2016
Infrastructure Engineer → Sysadmin — Data centre, virtualisation, networking. Where it all started.
