About

I build and run distributed data platforms in production — Kafka, ClickHouse, Hadoop-family stacks, and the observability around them (Prometheus, Grafana). Over 15+ years I've worked across greenfield builds, upgrades, migrations, and steady-state operations: cluster scaling, incident response, security hardening (TLS, LDAP, Kerberos, Ranger), and automation (Terraform, Ansible, GitOps tooling).

Currently focused on open-source big data platforms in enterprise environments — Kafka operations, ClickHouse deployments & remediation, Iceberg-related capabilities, and platform upgrades with minimal disruption to data teams.

Earlier roles span large multi-environment Hadoop estates (~300 nodes), Kubernetes on Azure/GCP, AKS/Terraform, and CDH/Hortonworks-era hardening — from Cognizant through Persistent, Clairvoyant, and my current engagement.

Cloud & analytics — hands-on with GCP BigQuery for large-scale analytics workloads, Azure cloud operations, container orchestration, and infrastructure-as-code with Terraform for reproducible, cost-optimized deployments.

Observability & reliability — Prometheus, Grafana, and custom alerting pipelines for proactive monitoring. Building the automation and runbooks that keep platforms safe to change at scale.

Contribute to the tech community through educational content on Udemy and Medium, focusing on DevOps best practices, Kubernetes, ClickHouse, and emerging data technologies.

Open to relevant platform / SRE / big data engineering conversations.
