Speaking

Three subjects, one discipline.

I speak on low-latency infrastructure, reliability engineering, and emotional arts. They look like different rooms. They’re the same argument: performance under pressure is designed, not summoned.

TEDxCMRIT Hyderabad · July 2026

“The Outage You Never See”

“The most important alarm I ever answered made no sound.”

Video coming soon

Talk delivered. TEDx publishes the video to their channel shortly, and it goes here the day it lands.

What I speak about

01

Low-latency infrastructure

What actually happens to a microsecond between your decision and the venue’s acknowledgement. Clocks, kernels, network cards, and the measurement discipline that tells you which delays you are paying for and which ones you simply are not seeing.

Engineering teams at exchanges, trading firms, and infrastructure vendors.

02

Reliability engineering

Designing for the worst day rather than the average one: redundancy that does not fail together, controls that actually fire, and the organisational question no dashboard answers. Who is the spare for your best judgment?

Engineering leadership, SRE and platform teams, board and offsite sessions.

03

Emotional arts

The human half of reliability. Hesitation is data. How blameless reporting actually produces reports, how composure is trained rather than possessed, and why the same discipline that keeps a system up keeps the people running it intact.

All-hands, conference keynotes, and half-day workshops.

Formats: conference keynote (18–45 min), engineering all-hands, leadership offsite, or a half-day workshop.

“Human hesitation is data.”
“A hero isn’t a strategy. A hero is a bug report.”
“You don’t have five engineers. You have one engineer, five times.”

Booking for conferences, offsites, and engineering all-hands.

Send the date, the audience, and the room. I’ll tell you which talk fits.
