I keep systems secure& build for the web.

I look after the invisible infrastructure — servers, networks, and security — that keeps a business running. In my own time I build small web tools and create on YouTube.

about me

The infrastructure
behind the scenes

Senior Manager & Head of IT at RightWave, overseeing enterprise infrastructure across three locations — US Data Center, Noida DC+Office, and Dehradun branch. I manage Dell PowerEdge/VMware clusters, Windows/Linux VMs, databases (MS SQL, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis), web servers (Tomcat, Apache, Nginx, WordPress), email deliverability (MX/SPF/DKIM/DMARC), pfSense firewalls, ISO 27001/ISMS compliance, and DNS/SSL end-to-end. I've also deployed production platforms from scratch including Rocket.Chat, Moodle, Snipe-IT, and TAO on Linux. In 2026, actively applying AI and automation tools to make IT ops smarter. Outside work: photography, a love of old music, long drives, and creating on YouTube.
