I spent 19 years at an MNC building and running high-performance computing and SRE platforms for India's largest banks and insurance companies — the kind of systems where downtime costs crores and compliance is non-negotiable. Today I'm the co-founder of SREPRIMER, an AI Security-as-a-Service startup helping BFSI organisations safely deploy LLMs — with guardrails, red-teaming, and regulatory traceability built in from day one. Our stack runs Garak, NeMo Guardrails, Langfuse, and IBM Granite on real banking workloads. I hold 6 patents and 3 IEEE publications. I've managed P1 incidents for tier-one financial clients, led HPC platform transformations at scale, and now help engineers and leaders navigate the shift from traditional infrastructure to AI-first systems. I open sessions for three types of people: · Engineers moving into AI/SRE leadership who want a realistic roadmap · Teams building LLM evaluation stacks (DeepEval, Ragas, Langfuse, Garak) who want hands-on guidance · Senior ICs eyeing Director/VP transitions who want honest prep, not cheerleading I don't do motivational content. I do straight talk, real architecture, and concrete next steps.
