About

I am a software engineer with extensive experience in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and high-performance software, having worked at Microsoft and Amazon as well as in R&D roles. I specialize in performance engineering, scalability, and solving complex systems-level problems across both hyperscale cloud platforms and consumer-facing software. At Microsoft (Azure Storage Performance team), I optimized latency, throughput, and scalability for Azure Storage, working on both user-mode and kernel-mode systems, and leveraging technologies like RDMA, storage stack re-architecture, and run-to-completion paradigms. At Amazon (AWS Outposts), I contributed to extending the AWS cloud to on-premises environments, ensuring reliability, consistency, and high performance for hybrid workloads. Earlier, I worked on camera and imaging systems software, delivering features such as Zero Shutter Lag (ZSL), optimizing 3A algorithms, and debugging critical system issues. I also have experience mentoring as a Teaching Assistant, guiding students in programming and databases. I bring a track record of delivering impactful solutions, collaborating across teams, and driving performance at scale. I am now looking for opportunities where I can leverage my experience at Microsoft, Amazon, and high-performance systems to contribute to innovative, scalable, and robust software products.
