About

I'm currently a Distributed Systems Engineer @ Cloudflare Inc. I develop and maintain our data infrastructure pipelines that ingest about 40 million requests per second originating from over 140+ datacenters located all around the world. I also work on our Enterprise Logshare Products which feature a set of APIs that allow Cloudflare users to be able to access their HTTP requests logs. Besides my current role, at Cloudflare, I have worn multiple hats and till date, I have worked on our Kubernetes Platform, and have also written end to end tooling that brought deployments from our CI/CD Infrastructure to Kubernetes. I primarily work with languages: Python, GoLang and technologies: Docker, Kubernetes, Kafka, Zookeeper and tools: Prometheus, Grafana, salt-stack, ansible. I am also really familiar with application development using Django, Flask, Postgresql, Redis etc with maybe a slight hint of HTML/CSS and Bootstrap. I also like tinkering with C++/Java when it comes to understanding systems, algorithms, data structures and their practice and I'm familiar with their general/high-level concepts.
