About

As a Site Reliability Engineer at Apple, I manage the reliability of large-scale, multi-cloud production services by defining SLOs, overseeing error budgets, and enhancing system resilience through proactive alerting and automated remediation. I lead cross-functional incident response and build internal automation frameworks to reduce operational toil, ensuring the team maintains five-nines reliability targets. With a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad, I focus on integrating AI-augmented observability into production monitoring systems. My work includes deploying LLM-based anomaly detection and intelligent alerting, while fostering collaboration with engineering, security, and platform teams to deliver robust production systems.

Experience

  • Site Reliability Engineer at Apple
    Apr 2022 - Present · 4 yrs 4 mos

    Own end-to-end reliability for large-scale, multi-cloud production services — defining SLOs, managing error budgets, and reducing MTTR through proactive alerting and automated remediation. Drive toil elimination by building internal tooling and automation frameworks that replace manual operations; measurably reduced on-call burden across the team. Lead cross-functional incident response — from triage and root-cause analysis to blameless post-mortems and systemic fixes — maintaining five-nines reliability targets. Architect and deploy AI-augmented observability pipelines, integrating LLM-based anomaly detection and intelligent alerting into the production monitoring stack. Collaborate with engineering, security, and platform teams to enforce reliability standards, capacity planning, and change management across distributed systems.

  • SRE at Zomato
    Jun 2017 - Mar 2022 · 4 yrs 10 mos

    Built and scaled the reliability foundation for Zomato's hyper-growth phase — supporting the platform through rapid user base expansion across India and international markets. Designed and implemented monitoring, logging, and tracing infrastructure (observability stack) that gave engineering teams real-time visibility into system health. Automated deployment pipelines and infrastructure provisioning, enabling engineering teams to ship faster with guardrails — reducing deployment incidents by standardising rollout procedures. Established on-call processes, runbooks, and SLO frameworks from the ground up, embedding a reliability engineering culture into a fast-moving product organisation. Partnered with ML and data teams to operationalise early recommendation and search models — foundational work that grew into a full MLOps practice.
