    • Sr Director Engineering -AI/HPC Infrastructure
      Aug 2025 - Mar 2026 · 8 mos

      As Sr. Director of AI Infrastructure, I lead the vision, architecture, and execution of high-performance platforms that power large-scale AI and GPU workloads. My work centers on building intelligent, efficient, and resilient infrastructure across data centers, backbone and edge networks, and compute systems to accelerate model training and inference at hyperscale. I oversee the design of advanced GPU clusters interconnected with high-bandwidth, low-latency fabrics such as InfiniBand, RoCE, EVPN-VXLAN, and PFC/ECN. In addition i also oversee designing of edge POPs and backbone networks that tie HPC data centers together using high-capacity waves and dark fiber, supported by telemetry-driven congestion control. My teams also develop automation frameworks that integrate seamlessly with bare-metal environments, enabling faster execution, deep observability, and operational excellence. At the strategic level, I define long-term architecture, capacity planning, sustainability initiatives, and hardware–software co-design to ensure our infrastructure remains ahead of evolving AI demands. I’m passionate about transforming infrastructure from a cost center into a strategic advantage—empowering researchers, data scientists, and engineers to innovate without limitations.
