Professional experience

Experience.

Director, Site Reliability Engineering

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)

2020 – Mar 2026
  • Led the global SRE organization for OCI Object Storage — 45+ engineers, 3 managers, across US, India, UK, and Mexico. Owned end-to-end service reliability, incident lifecycle, automation strategy, and operational scalability for a business that grew to $600M ARR, 10 EB of customer data, and 100% YoY growth.
  • Grew the SRE / Platform org from 5 → 45 engineers and shifted the operating model: service teams stopped doing their own region builds, pre-production qualification, and fleet management — they consumed platforms my org built.
  • Reduced production rollbacks per service by 60%, build times by 80%, and change-caused incidents by 50%.
  • Delivered the first customized Object Storage at production scale for OpenAI — $100M engagement, 15 Tbps bandwidth, shipped in three months.
  • Built AI-driven support and automation workflows that reduced ticket volume by 30% and improved response times by 50%.
  • Achieved 100% FedRAMP-compliant patching across the 50,000+ node fleet via automated patching and vulnerability management.

SRE Manager

Oracle Inc, USA

Mar 2014 – Mar 2020
  • Led release and operational readiness for Oracle Object Storage across multi-region deployments.
  • Built the region-build framework that enabled OCI expansion from 4 to 100+ regions.
  • Developed fleet-patching automation across 30,000+ nodes, improving reliability and operational efficiency.
  • Coordinated cross-functional incident response and compliance remediation across 5+ engineering teams.

Enterprise consulting

Financial, banking, healthcare, security platforms

1993 – 2014
  • Twenty-one years delivering enterprise implementations across regulated industries — financial services, banking, healthcare, and security platforms.
  • Consistent on-time delivery with measurable defect reduction (~30%).
