About

I'm a software engineer with over 5+ years of experience, blending backend development with deep expertise in infrastructure, observability, and data platforms. I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science and Engineering from IIIT Hyderabad. My primary focus is building and evolving reliable, scalable, and secure platforms that empower engineering teams to move faster with confidence. I’ve worked extensively on improving system observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry), managing cloud-native infrastructure (Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD), and designing robust data layers and platform abstractions. While my foundation lies in backend development, I thrive at the intersection of developer productivity, platform reliability, and infrastructure as code. Currently, I help build and maintain production systems that are operationally sound, easy to monitor, and built to scale.

Distributed Tracing
Integrated Datadog APM for distributed tracing across services, tailored for a FedRAMP-compliant environment to enhance system observability and root cause analysis.
AWS Infra Monitoring
Designed and implemented metrics streaming from AWS CloudWatch to Chronosphere using CloudWatch Metric Stream and AWS Kinesis Firehose, improving visibility into cloud resource performance and cost monitoring.
Application Metrics Scrapping
Set up Prometheus-based ServiceMonitor configurations to enable efficient and scalable scraping of metrics across Kubernetes workloads.
Grafana
Set up in-house Grafana integrated with various metrics backends (Chronosphere, AWS Cloudwatch, RDS, self-hosted Prometheus) with Okta integration for supporting metrics visualization.

Promoted

Mar 2022 – Apr 2024 · 2 yrs 1 mo

Worked on enabling the consumption of backing services from both the BTP Cloud Foundry and BTP Kyma runtime environments. This involved configuring and integrating the necessary components to ensure seamless access to backing services within these platforms.
Worked on integrating OpenTelemetry with Prometheus and Grafana by implementing necessary instrumentation within the backend applications to collect and export custom metrics specific to the requirements of the system.
Worked on Dynatrace integration for the managed Redis and PostgreSQL instances to enable monitoring and observability for these database instances. This integration helped in identifying performance bottlenecks, optimizing query execution, and ensuring the overall stability and efficiency of the managed Redis and PostgreSQL instances.
Worked on TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) reduction initiatives aimed at reducing the overall cost of operation. This involved:
a. Cleaning up and monitoring unused or orphan infrastructure resources.
b. Scaling down control plane Kubernetes clusters in regions with lower traffic.
c. Refactoring applications to reduce infrastructure API calls.
