About

I've spent the better part of two decades at an intersection most people don't expect: the place where large-scale enterprise complexity meets the restlessness of a curious builder who can't stop asking "why does this have to work this way?" From large enterprise boardrooms to bootstrapped startups, from consulting and product to business development and sales — across geographies, cultures, and business cycles — I've donned many hats. But the thread that runs through all of it is the same: a compulsion to find where things could work better, and the stubbornness to build toward that almost relentlessly. I've been through capital raises that went well and ones that didn't. I've seen teams and cultures hold under pressure and cultures that quietly collapsed. I've navigated exits, integrations, and the strange, humbling gap that follows both. Each of those experiences gave me something no playbook could: an instinct for what actually matters when you're building something real and imminent. That instinct is what brought me to co creating Devtron. Software is no longer just infrastructure — it is the business. And yet, the gap between writing great software and reliably operating it at scale remains one of the most quietly expensive problems in enterprise technology. Devtron was built to close that gap: a platform that makes deploying, managing, and scaling applications on Kubernetes genuinely accessible to the developers and DevOps teams doing the work. The context is what the platform has. What drew me in wasn't just the product. It was the obsession of the team behind it — a rare, focused clarity about who they were building for and why. I've seen enough ventures to know that combination doesn't come along often. I joined as Co-Founder because I believe what we're building has the potential to become the operating standard for cloud-native engineering teams globally. Today, I lead a solid team of spirited builders who are just on this mission. If you're a CTO, an engineering leader, or an architect thinking about how your teams build and ship software at scale, I'd genuinely enjoy the conversation.
