Platform engineer specializing in AI infrastructure, K8sGPT + Ollama cluster diagnostics, and scaling data workloads on Kubernetes.
📍 Thane, Maharashtra, India · 🧑💻 4× Coral OSS · 🧠 Cognee Slack connector · 🤖 K8sGPT + Ollama · ☁️ AWS Certified
Platform Engineer specializing in AI Infrastructure (LLMOps) and secure cloud-native orchestration. I scale Spark on Kubernetes, build AIOps workflows with K8sGPT + self-hosted LLMs, and harden AWS environments through IAM least-privilege, private network architectures, and automated security auditing.
- Open Source @ Coral — Merged community sources for Kubernetes, Prometheus, Jenkins, and HubSpot
- Open Source @ Cognee — Slack workspace-export DLT connector for AI memory (merged in cognee-community)
- AIOps & LLMOps — K8sGPT + Ollama in-cluster diagnostics, Langfuse for LLM observability, human-in-the-loop remediation
- Air-Gapped K8s — On-prem internet-restricted clusters, NFS-backed local image registries, sealed secrets
- Data Platform Ops — Dynamic Spark on K8s, Airflow workflow automation, Trino + MinIO + Superset stacks
- Security — IAM least-privilege, Bastion/VPN access, network policies, RBAC auditing via Coral SQL
| Area | Impact |
|---|---|
| Coral OSS | 4 merged PRs — k8s, prometheus, jenkins, hubspot community sources |
| Cognee OSS | Slack export → DLT connector (#3621 → community#134) |
| Spark on K8s | ~30% compute cost reduction via dynamic scaling strategies |
| AIOps Pipeline | K8sGPT + LLM integrated with Teams for automated cluster diagnostics |
| Air-Gapped Platform | Local registry on NFS + secure CI/CD for restricted environments |
| Airflow Reliability | ~15% pipeline reliability improvement via dataset scheduling & secret automation |
Hackathon task for Cognee — turn Slack workspace exports into AI memory via the existing DLT ingestion path.

| Issue | #3621 — Slack-export connector (assigned) |
| Initial PR | #3778 |
| Maintainer follow-up | #3993 (SDK-143) |
| Merged package | cognee-community#134 ✅ |
| Package | packages/connector/slack/ |
What landed: custom dlt source over Slack export JSON, stable channel_id:ts message ids, snapshot re-sync with forget-on-delete, and table-scoped orphan cleanup guidance so Slack re-ingest does not wipe unrelated dlt data.
