About

Principal Software Engineer with experience building secure, highly reliable cloud platforms and distributed systems at scale. My work spans cloud security, key and secret management, distributed systems architecture, and backend services, with a career progression from systems software, compilers, and EDA tools to foundational cloud infrastructure at Microsoft. I focus on systems that remain reliable in production—simple to operate, safe by default, and resilient under real-world failure.
