Calibrating stars & telemetry

Hello, I'm Vikram.

I'm a technical delivery leader and AI solutions architect based in Melbourne, currently serving as Scrum Master / Project Manager on the Australian Taxation Office's Payday Super program. Over 15+ years across government, finance, and telecommunications I've helped teams ship complex systems — from mainframe test automation to real-time AI platforms — with a focus on measurable business value.

Beyond my professional work, I have a deep interest in the intersection of technology and history, particularly ancient algorithms and Vedic astronomy. I believe there's a lot to learn from the past to build a better future.

About Me

With over 15 years in the technology industry, I work as a Senior Technical Leader and Certified Scrum Master (CSM) across government, financial services, and telecommunications — currently leading agile delivery for the Australian Taxation Office’s Payday Super reform program. My focus is program delivery, enterprise transformation, and architecting AI/ML-driven solutions.

I lead cross-functional squads, guide cloud-based modernisations, and automate away systemic delivery friction. My technical background spans Python, TypeScript, and cloud-native infrastructure (Kubernetes, GCP, AWS, Azure). I focus on fostering an agile culture and translating complex technical roadmaps into measurable business value.

Experience

  • Lead end-to-end agile delivery for the Agile Kookaburras squad — one of eight squads delivering NTP and Distribution UI capabilities for the ATO’s Payday Super reform — owning sprint cadence, PI planning (PI 47–48), capacity management, and executive status reporting.
  • Architected the program’s COBOL/mainframe test-evidence automation strategy covering 200+ SIT/E2E scenarios across all eight squads, cutting evidence effort from ~3 hours to ~15 minutes per scenario (≈92% reduction) using a zero-new-approvals toolchain (REXX, SMF, SDSF, PCOMM, PowerShell, VBA).
  • Converted a mathematically infeasible SIT window — 75+ hours of manual evidence per team against 64 available hours — into an achievable plan through a six-day tiered harness build with a formal go/no-go gate and a four-level contingency ladder.
  • Convened and facilitated a cross-discipline technical war room that produced a binding automation recommendation in under three hours, securing endorsement without a single new InfoSec approval.
  • Authored the executive change request re-baselining Payday Super test capacity from 30 to up to 90 person-days, including options analysis, costed recommendation, risk assessment, and full Azure DevOps traceability across 40 scenarios and 11 data tables (AC6–AC19) with STT regression scope.
  • Unblocked stalled NTP function testing by escalating L2 environment instability and brokering targeted SME enablement, while steering Distribution UI feature delivery to 95%+ completion.
