Who I Am
About Me
“Technology is my first love. I feel heavenly pleasure while learning new technologies.”
I am a Solutions Architect and Computer Engineer specializing in Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure modernization and application modernization, primarily serving the BFSI sector. At Translab Technologies, I drive technical strategy — including architectural contributions to the proprietary platform Tantor, focused on data migration, data federation, governance and AI integrations.
I architect the modernization of monolithic applications into microservices-based, cloud-native architectures, enabling them to leverage scalability and high availability on cloud and hybrid environments. Prior to this role, I served as Kubernetes Administrator & Developer at the same organisation, building production-grade clusters from scratch.
Security runs deep in my DNA. I secure Translab's internal IT with the Microsoft 365 suite, Entra ID, Intune, Defender suite and Purview, deployed next-generation Sophos firewalls across all Translab offices, and contribute actively to the Translab SOC team. I also led the internal implementation of ISO 27001 controls and DLP frameworks across our Bangalore, Mumbai and Jammu offices.
My earlier career spans nearly a decade heading prestigious Electronic Security Projects for Government, Defence, PSUs and Corporates — including the Consulate General of India in Kandahar, Afghanistan, and Air Headquarters Vayu Bhawan (Indian Air Force). I am passionate about technical pedagogy, leading comprehensive engineering training programs, and pioneering R&D in infrastructure automation using Agentic AI and Small Language Models.
