Founder & CEO
Founded in 2026 by engineers who got tired of 3am pages, NEXIS exists to make the unhappy path of running production systems quieter, faster, and more humane.
Every engineering team we've worked with — startups, scale-ups, public companies — has the same hidden cost: a brittle layer of human attention spent watching dashboards, triaging incidents, and writing post-mortems. It's the reason engineers burn out. It's the reason teams keep hiring SREs but can't move faster.
We built NEXIS because the existing observability stack is excellent at detecting problems and miserable at solving them. Sentry tells you something broke. Datadog tells you what changed. PagerDuty wakes someone up. A human still has to do all the actual work of figuring out what went wrong and writing the fix. That last mile is where the cost lives.
Our wager is that a fleet of specialised agents, each expert at one stage of recovery and constrained to your own contracts and tests, can close that loop — with the engineer staying in the loop on anything that matters.
In early 2026, Ratul and Maya were on-call together at a data infra company. A 3am page fired because a Sentry rule had matched a noisy log line in a deprecated service. They spent forty minutes acknowledging the alert, paging through dashboards, and finally writing a one-line YAML change to silence it.
The next morning, they sketched out a system where each step of that forty minutes — detection, correlation, fix, validation, approval — was its own specialised agent. They wrote the first prototype that weekend.
NEXIS is what that prototype turned into after eight months of building, talking to SRE teams at twelve companies, and shipping the first six integrations. We're a small team building deliberately — operators first, closed loops only.
We hire engineers who've carried a pager and know exactly what we're trying to remove.

We build for the engineer at 3am, not the executive at 9am. If the on-call rotation isn't quieter, we haven't shipped anything.
We don't ship 'suggestion' tools that hand a long PDF to an engineer. Every recovery either ships a verified fix or escalates with a clear reason.
Every agent hand-off lands in an audit log. Every patch carries a plain-English summary. If we can't explain it, we don't ship it.
Autonomy is not the goal. Reducing toil is the goal. A human approves anything that touches production by default.
Every successful recovery makes the next one cheaper, faster, and more accurate. We earn our place in the loop by getting better, not by getting louder.
