Actions
Software Engineer turned Trainer and Public Speaker. I love talking about Cloud, DevOps, and the power of community to make tech more approachable. Through mentoring, training sessions, and talks, I try to help others grow in their tech journey.
Being in a startup, I didn’t just play the “techy girl” role but also dabbled in other operational stuff, wearing multiple hats like a true founding-member vibe.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and doing chit-chat over good food and coffee.

Node Drain Broke the Pods: Debugging PodDisruptionBudget in Kubernetes
When I was working on one of my Kubernetes tasks in one of my projects, the added new annotations (key-value pairs) to my Ingress, brought down one of my applications. This gives me the result of learning one more concept, PDB (PodDisruptionBudget). This talk is a story of that failure — how and what is PDB
in K8s, misconfigured PDB, and unexpected node drain led to downtime, how I debugged the issue, and the practical steps I used to fix it. Along the way, I’ll explain:
- How Kubernetes handles evictions and node drains,
- Why PDBs sometimes make disruptions worse if not designed carefully, and the recovery strategies (scaling, uncordoning, adjusting budgets, curating nodes).
- How the node lifecycle works together
How Monitoring Tools like Power BI helpful in Agentic Analysis
This session is all about exploring the how AI agents think, act, and learn over time — and how we can monitor their behavior using Power BI.
Agents make choices, take actions, and sometimes make mistakes. To improve them, we need to track what they’re doing, how fast they respond, how confident they are in their actions, and how often they succeed or fail.
We’ll walk you through like:
how long they take to act, how accurate and confident they are, and how their performance changes over time. Using simple visuals in Power BI,
How Great Systems are Secretly Engineered
Building scalable, performing efficiently, and resilient systems under pressure is more critical than ever today in the fast-paced world of tech. Let's embark on a journey into the fascinating world of system design where complexity can be broken down into simple and crystal-clear steps. Whether you're designing a brand-new cloud-native application or optimizing an existing system, I will be providing practical advice, real-world examples, and proven design patterns that can help you build systems designed for today but ready for tomorrow as well.
We'll examine the bigger picture and very small details:
High-Level Design: How do we architect systems that can scale to millions of users, stay fault-tolerant, and maximize the powerful tools of Google Cloud?
Low-Level Design: We would go deeper and focus on matters such as efficient algorithms, data flow management, concurrent handling, and database optimization.
Expect hands-on examples, interactive discussions, and takeaways you can apply to your own projects. Together, we're going to demystify system design so you feel confident in building systems that stand the test of time.
