About

I started my career at 3am resolving P1 incidents — that frontline experience is what makes me a different kind of IT leader. Today I lead global service delivery operations at Tech Mahindra as a Service Delivery Manager, overseeing 3 enterprise accounts, a team of 75 engineers, and cloud infrastructure across AWS & GCP. I've driven a 15% cost reduction through data-led process optimisation, cut incident resolution time by 30%, and built SRE-aligned automation frameworks that freed 40% of team capacity for strategic work. What I bring beyond process: I translate technical complexity into boardroom language, build teams that own their outcomes, and treat every incident as a system design problem.
