Dana Bindra

Cloud & AI Infrastructure Engineering Leader | Over 10 years experience architecting secure, scalable systems across enterprise, federal, and high-performance environments.

Leading globally distributed engineering teams (US, India, Philippines) building everything from multi-region Azure hub-spoke architectures to GPU/HPC clusters and GenAI-driven data pipelines. My career spans carrier-grade networking, enterprise cloud, DoD-cleared environments, and AI infrastructure — always at the intersection of complex systems and automation.


What I'm Working On

  • GenAI & Data Engineering — Building end-to-end data pipelines on Microsoft Fabric (OneLake, Data Factory, Data Warehouse, Data Science) with Snowflake integrations and FastAPI-based microservices for real-time data access
  • GPU/HPC Infrastructure — Multi-tenant GPU cluster design with RDMA/RoCEv2 optimization, Kubernetes GPU scheduling, and observability via Prometheus + custom ROCm exporters
  • Cloud Architecture at Scale — Multi-region Azure hub-spoke topologies with ExpressRoute, CheckPoint NVAs, BGP peering, and Terraform IaC for Fortune 100 clients
  • AI-Driven Automation — LLM-powered infrastructure validation, configuration generation, and intelligent data quality monitoring using Python and prompt engineering

Career Arc

ISP / Telco Network Engineering     →  MPLS, BGP, voice architecture, carrier-grade data transport
Enterprise Cloud & DevOps           →  IaC, CI/CD, Kubernetes, hybrid cloud migrations (100+ sites)
Federal / DoD Cloud Engineering     →  Azure Gov IL4/IL5, DoD Cloud SRG, DISA STIGs, NIST 800-53
AI Infrastructure & Data Platforms  →  GPU clusters, Microsoft Fabric, Snowflake, GenAI pipelines

Highlight Projects

FedEx Multi-Region Azure Architecture

Designed enterprise hub-spoke topology across multiple Azure regions with ExpressRoute peering, CheckPoint NVA security, and automated failover. Led 15+ engineers across 4 countries.

U.S. Navy Ship-to-Shore Communications

Engineered resilient emergency communications infrastructure across classified network boundaries with real-time failover between naval vessels and shore command.

DoD Cloud SRG Reference Architectures

Translated NIST 800-53 controls and DISA STIG requirements into actionable Azure Government IL4/IL5 deployment patterns with automated compliance validation via FastAPI reporting services.

GenAI Data Quality Automation

Built Python-based LLM pipeline for automated data validation, anomaly detection, and self-healing data quality workflows across Azure Data Factory pipelines.

Microsoft Fabric Analytics Platform

Orchestrated end-to-end analytics on Fabric — OneLake ingestion, Data Factory workflows, Fabric Data Warehouse transformations, Data Science workloads, and Power BI dashboards with Snowflake connectors.

GPU/HPC Observability Stack

Custom observability pipeline for multi-tenant GPU clusters using Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Alloy, and ROCm-SMI exporters with Kubernetes-native telemetry collection.
