I'm a DevOps/SRE Cloud Engineer with production Kafka experience across multicloud environments. As a Kafka/Confluent community speaker and organizer, I've educated students and professionals from core fundamentals to real production use cases. I was invited by my alma mater as an expert speaker for their Kafka/Big Data Systems elective, and I document this journey on LinkedIn

Since June 2025, I've been associated with the Kafka Community Mumbai Meetup as a Speaker and Organizer. In this role, I collaborate with Kafka developers, senior professionals, students, colleges, companies, and other tech communities to bring together diverse audiences around Kafka and streaming systems. I focus on making sessions highly interactive rather than lecture-style using fun quizzes, storytelling, and real-world scenarios to keep both beginners and experienced engineers engaged. It's been a rewarding way to build community, share knowledge, and stay closely connected to how Kafka is actually used in production
