Hello! I am a Certified Senior Solution Architect passionate about turning complex business challenges into secure, scalable solutions. My expertise spans DevSecOps, Kubernetes, OpenShift, and cloud-native architectures, viewed through a security and network-centric lens.
My career began at BT Global Services, progressing from technical support to engineering enterprise designs with technologies like Cisco, Juniper, Arista, and F5 in Campus and Datacenter Networks.
As a Network Architect at IBM, I designed high-availability, compliant data centers for clients in industries such as pharma, finance, and retail, including large-scale firewall migrations, securing perimeters and implementing defenses against data link layer threats.
At IBM-Kyndryl, I lead transformative initiatives that accelerate cloud adoption. I designed resilient ecosystems across AWS, Azure, IBMCloud, and on-prem environments.
I architected a certified DevOps platform managing over 200 Kubernetes clusters, built on secure-by-design principles that blend innovation with compliance and performance, using OpenSource and CNCF tools and technologies like Istio, Keycloak, Velero, Dex, Kubernetes CNIs, eBPF etc..
I hold certifications including CCNP, Data Center Specialist, and Master Certified Architect, and serve as a technical mentor for future engineers and bridging gaps from engineers to the C-suite.
My contributions have earned recognition, including the 2025 Kyndryl Innovation Award, and I frequently publish on Kubernetes and cloud security forums
Count me in for any of these topics — always happy to dive in and collaborate!

Unauthenticated Kubernetes apps, never again!
The session presents a scalable solution for securing Kubernetes apps using centralized authentication with Dex and Identity Providers.
From Networker to DevOps
I tell the the story from Traditional Network to Kubernetes and DevOps
I've been meaning to share my story for a while—how I made the jump from old-school networking to the wild world of cloud and Kubernetes, picking up new tech and concepts along the way (sometimes the hard way 😅).
So, I put together a little trilogy ( Kubernetes evolution, DevSecOps and Kubernetes Networking CNI ) to walk you through the journey. Whether you're a network pro trying to level up, or a DevOps curious about networking but not sure where to even begin, this is for you.
From Kubernetes Service to Enterprise Exposure: Agentic Platform Engineering in Action
Publishing a Kubernetes service is rarely just a Kubernetes task.
In real and enterprise platform environments, exposing an application often requires many devices, teams, and company decisions.
A demo-driven session showing how Kubernetes service intent can trigger agentic workflows to plan and automate DNS, ingress, firewall, routing, and observability changes through GitOps and human approval in a few cases.
Session type: Technical session with live demonstrations.
Target audience:
Platform Engineers, Kubernetes Operators, Cloud Architects, DevOps Engineers and Platform Teams.
Audience level:
Intermediate to Advanced.
The session is based on a working lab environment using synthetic data and focuses on architecture patterns and implementation approaches rather than vendor-specific solutions.
Topics covered include:
- Kubernetes
- Platform Engineering
- GitOps
- Gateway API
- Agentic AI
- Infrastructure Automation ( Firewalls, ACLs..)
- DNS and Network Automation ( K8sgb, cloudflare...)
