I work on platform and infrastructure engineering, and I own the breadth of it — the whole surface rather than a slice. It’s ground that normally gets divided across a team, which means there’s no specialist to defer to on any one part of it. I still reach conclusions the ordinary way, by arguing them through with the people who have a stake in the outcome.

About six years of that, across GCP and AWS, in a services company and then a product company. I build and run production systems on both.

The writing is about the calls that come with that much surface area: what to build, what to buy, what to leave alone, and what it costs when the call turns out to be wrong. Less how-to, more why-this-and-not-that.

Email is the best way to reach me — hi@dhirajsutar.com.
