About Abhishek Datta

I build systems that do not wait for humans to fix them.Over 20+ years, I have worked across DevOps, SRE, and AWS cloud engineering… leading teams and improving reliability at scale. But over time, I realized something…We were getting better at reacting to failures… not eliminating the need to react.That pushed me into a different space…Agentic AI, MLOps, AIOps, and LLM driven operations.Lately, I have been building systems where:→ ML pipelines retrain themselves when data drift appears using MLOps platforms→ AI agents investigate incidents and reduce MTTR from hours to minutes→ DevOps pipelines self heal without manual intervention using LLMs→ Chaos Engineering runs continuously across Kubernetes environments→ Architecture discovery systems map dependencies in real timeThis work combines SRE practices with Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD, and observability… along with multi agent AI systems moving toward autonomous cloud operations.Across my experience, I have delivered measurable impact at scale:→ Reduced production downtime by 20 to 50 percent across AWS and on premise environments→ Cut high severity incidents by 30 percent and medium to low severity incidents by 70 percent through Chaos Engineering→ Generated multi million dollar impact through automation, including up to 9 million in efficiency gains→ Optimized cloud spend, delivering savings of over 1.8 million in a single year→ Influenced over 2 million in resilience and platform engineering investments at leadership levelHere is what I believe now…Traditional monitoring and runbooks are not enough for AI driven systems.Systems need to detect, reason, and act.That is where my work is focused today…Resilience engineering, Agentic AI, and self healing cloud platforms.Curious about my background? Ask my AI career assistant: https://huggingface.co/spaces/AbhishekDatta/AbhishekDatta-CareerJourneyIf you are building or scaling platforms where reliability, AI driven operations, and resilience are business critical… and you need leadership to move from reactive ops to autonomous systems… we should talk.

Experience

1. Senior Manager - Sre & Chaos Engineering

   Capgemini

   May 2024 — Present · NY, US

   Led resilience engineering and Chaos Engineering initiatives for Wealth Management platforms at a Tier 1 global investment bank, Morgan Stanley (client engagement via Capgemini), operating across US and India.Focused on evolving traditional SRE practices toward AI driven and autonomous operations.Key contributions:→ Transformed Chaos Engineering from ad hoc experiments into a structured resilience program, improving system resilience scores by 70 percent across critical applications→ Designed and executed large scale Game Days, uncovering and remediating 150 plus failure scenarios before production impact→ Built Agentic AI driven solutions using LLMs and Python for incident investigation, automated reporting, and user flow testing… reducing operational overhead by 75 percent and improving MTTR by 50 percent→ Introduced resilience maturity frameworks (RMMI), increasing average maturity scores from 2.3 to 4.4 across 25 plus applications→ Led and coached distributed SRE teams, enabling independent chaos experimentation with high success rates and reducing reliance on centralized execution→ Influenced over 2 million in resilience and platform engineering investments through executive level engagement and data driven insights
