Enterprise Platform Architect
from Trading Systems to Cloud-Native technologies to AI Platforms|
Nobody calls the architect to say things are running fine. I've spent 15 years trying to make sure it runs smooth and they don't have to call at all — from mission-critical trading systems to cloud-native and AI platforms.

15 Years in Infrastructure: What Actually Matters
I started my career in a windowless server room in Pune, racking servers for CLSA's trading platforms. The room was loud, cold, and unforgiving. If a server went down during trading hours, people lost money. Not theoretically — measurably.
Platform Engineering Is Not Just About Kubernetes
Every few years, our industry finds a new label for an old set of problems. Platform engineering is the current label. And like most labels, it is being stretched to mean whatever the speaker wants it to mean.
AI Infrastructure Starts With Platform Engineering
I am not an AI researcher. I do not build models. I do not train LLMs. What I do is build infrastructure platforms — and I have noticed something interesting over the past eighteen months.
