At CN, I lead the IT Enterprise Observability division, overseeing solution architecture, design, and monitoring practices while ensuring collaboration and security compliance. My role involves working with Enterprise and Solution Architects to develop high-level architecture, translating these into domain-specific capabilities, and promoting automation for efficient deployment. I facilitate workshops to assess project scope, define new capabilities, and refine requirements by bridging gaps between projects, Business Analysts, and technical teams. I also collaborate with architecture teams to create innovative monitoring patterns and enhance monitoring solutions, ensuring compliance with CN’s Information Security guidelines. As a subject matter expert, I lead high-complexity blueprint projects and monitor end-to-end solutions across on-premises, hybrid, and cloud environments.

• Lead enterprise observability strategy across hybrid cloud and on-prem infrastructure supporting 500+ business
critical applications.
• Designed, deployed, and governed the Dynatrace Operator on GKE clusters, ensuring full-stack observability across
microservices environments.
• Optimized Dynatrace ActiveGate performance through bucket-size tuning, CPU/memory configuration, and
improved routing for large-scale data ingestion.
• Developed advanced DQL queries, custom problems, and metric-based alerting to improve detection accuracy and
reduce noise by ~40%.
• Implemented IBM MQ Extension 2.0, building tagging rules, queue manager mapping, and DQL-powered queue
depth analytics.
• Built automated Dynatrace Workflow pipelines for log timestamp tracking, SNMP trap enrichment, and incident
correlation.
• Created and enforced observability governance frameworks (naming standards, tagging strategy, management
zones) for technical ownership and operational clarity.
• Improved MTTR by ~35% through precise alerting, DQL-based problem detection, and enhanced incident triage
workflows.
• Designed executive dashboards for operational status, SLO alignment, and service reliability trends.
• Trained and mentored 100+ engineers, including Service Offering Managers as well as L1/L2 teams and application
owners, to strengthen observability maturity.
• Migrated legacy monitoring tools (Tivoli, OBM, SCOM) to Dynatrace, implementing Davis AI baselines to replace
static thresholds and reduce alert fatigue.
• Collaborated with SRE, DevOps, networking, and app teams to align monitoring with business KPIs and resilience
goals.
• ServiceNow + Dynatrace Integration (ITSM / ITAM / Event Management)
◦ Integrated Dynatrace with ServiceNow Event Management, enabling automated event, alert, and incident
generation aligned to ITSM workflows and enterprise governance standards.
◦ Leveraged ServiceNow CMDB (ITAM) service offerings and application CIs to map event signals from
Dynatrace to precise business services, improving incident routing accuracy and service ownership by
>30%.
◦ Collaborated with Service Offering Managers to build real-time operational dashboards in ServiceNow,
ensuring end-to-end visibility of application health, dependencies, and cross-system impacts.
◦ Defined and operationalized the event-to-incident lifecycle between Dynatrace and ServiceNow, improving
ITSM process efficiency and reducing manual ticket creation across L1/L2 teams.
◦ Ensured alignment between Dynatrace topology (Smartscape), CMDB relationships, and service catalogs,
strengthening ITAM accuracy and enabling clearer RCA and service health reporting.
