About

I am a Senior System Engineer with close to 5 years of experience in building reliable infrastructure at scale. I have worked on designing the new architecture of Gopay - a leading fintech product in SEA - based on multi cluster service mesh. I have led a 3 member team to design and implement the upgrade of critical infrastructure components with zero downtime. I was introduced to programming in 2006 and I have been loving it since. As of today I am a polyglot programmer with experience in Python, Golang, Java. I have open sourced a prototype of ClusterAPI provider for Libvirt which enables Kubernetes administrators to spin up on-premise Kubernetes cluster on KVM machines. I have been involved in various community events and have shared my learnings at Open Source Summit Lyon 2019, Open Source Summit Tokyo 2019, Kubernetes Forum Delhi 2020. Technical Skills: Python, Golang, Kubernetes, Istio.
