About

1. Nutanix Working as MTS4 (SDE IV) at Nutanix, contributing to Kubernetes Data Platform (Cloud Native Data Services) which offers enterprise-grade data protection and disaster recovery capabilities. 2. Flipkart Worked as Software Development Engineer III at Flipkart Internet Pvt. Ltd., contributing to Flipkart Central Platforms that manage DBaaS and Backup & Disaster Recovery services for all teams. Latest project focused on building Managed MySQL Database Service platform operating one of India’s largest MySQL fleets with 950+ clusters and over 1PB of data. The platform leverages a hybrid cloud architecture designed for high availability, cross-Availability Zone read scaling, and low-latency performance across distributed environments. I’m also a founding engineer of the VM-based Backup & DR platform that supports 15+ datastore types, built on a plugin-based architecture and managing a storage footprint of over 600TB. My core focus areas include microservices, distributed systems, cloud solutions (like GCS and Ansible), and platform reliability. Outside of work, you’ll often find me playing cricket, table tennis, or travelling — always exploring new ways to recharge and stay balanced.
