Senior DevOps Engineer / Software Flow Engineer
I build the cloud platforms and pipelines that carry software to production. Now I’m taking that experience toward AI platform engineering.
01 / Path
The work stays the same shape: get something reliable into production and keep it running. What runs on the platform is changing.
I run cloud infrastructure, AKS and GitLab CI/CD at ESAB India, and build the AI agents and LLM tools the engineering teams use every day.
I’m learning the platform layer under AI products: how models are hosted, routed and connected to tools and data, and how to operate that well.
The goal is to design and build AI systems end to end, with the habits of someone who has kept production running.
Currently exploring
02 / Work
CodeSentinel and TestFlow run in production. Cadence is a personal project in pre-alpha.
An AI code reviewer for GitLab. Reads changes, retrieves relevant code and past feedback, then posts inline suggestions without repeating earlier findings.
Runs plain-English TestRail cases in a browser using Playwright. Checks the outcome and sends pass/fail results and screenshots back to TestRail.
Turns meeting audio into speaker-labeled transcripts, decisions and action items. Speech recognition and language models run entirely on your machine.

04 / About
I’ve spent my career on the full path from provisioning environments to deploying and maintaining the services they run. That is still my day job, and I like it.
I’m also an AI enthusiast. I try new AI tools as they appear, build with the ones that hold up, and put the useful results into production. That habit is how CodeSentinel and TestFlow came about, and it’s why AI platform engineering is my next step.
