About

As a staff site reliability engineer at LinkedIn, I lead a team of engineers who ensure the reliability and performance of low latency data streaming and processing systems that handle petaBytes of data on Hadoop. With over 17 years of experience in software development and engineering, I have worked with some of the leading tech companies, such as Flipkart, InMobi, and Yahoo!, where I developed and managed scalable and robust software solutions. I am passionate about solving complex technical challenges, delivering high-quality products, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to drive innovation and growth. I am looking for opportunities to leverage my skills and expertise in site reliability engineering and big data, and to contribute to the mission and culture of a dynamic and inclusive organization.
