$03about

I started as an ECE engineer who liked breaking things on Linux for fun. Five years in, I'm the person teams call when their cloud bill is climbing, their deploys are flaky, or their AI prototype needs to become a product.

My career has been a clean diagonal — Infosys for the fundamentals, BONbLOC + McLane for hands-on DevSecOps at scale, then Synergech, where I now lead a team building InfraGenie end-to-end: discovery, architecture, model selection, infra provisioning, the works.

I write about the stuff I figure out the hard way. I prefer boring tech that ships over shiny tech that demos. I think good DevOps is mostly empathy.

What people I've worked with say.

I had the pleasure of working with Suraj Sanjay, Senior engineer on my team, and was consistently impressed by his ownership and ability to deliver impactful results quickly. A standout example: He led a critical project that boosted compliance from 40% to 92%, handling design, development, and legacy platform integration end-to-end — significantly improving operational efficiency. His strong ownership, clear communication, and technical skill make him a valuable asset to any team. Any organization would be lucky to have him onboard.
