Mohammed Sajid Khan
Seasoned, result-oriented executive with 18+ years of industry experience, specializing in
designing and implementing scalable, resilient, and highly available distributed systems
focusing on cloud enterprise solutions. With deep expertise in cloud-native architectures
(AWS), Kubernetes, observability, and automation, I drive enterprise-wide reliability
strategies that enhance system performance and reduce operational costs. I lead the
design of self-healing, fault-tolerant infrastructure, leveraging SLOs, SLIs, Apdex, and error
budgets to align engineering efforts with business goals. My work lies in architecting
next-generation reliability frameworks, integrating AIOps, chaos engineering, and
predictive analytics to prevent failures before they occur. Beyond technical leadership, I
mentor teams, influence engineering roadmaps, and foster a culture of proactive
reliability, an automation-first mindset, and operational excellence. As a strategic thought
leader, I work at the intersection of QA, DevOps, software engineering, Performance
Engineering, Management & Testing Services of Web, Cloud, Client-Server applications,
Thin/Thick Client, Microservices, AI tools, Mobile, CI/CD to backend Database areas by
providing integrated solutions to clients that increased business performance over 40% by
fine-tuning the product and removing bottlenecks to shape the future of reliability at
scale.
