About

Software Engineer with experience building and operating large-scale backend, data infrastructure, and platform systems across high-growth consumer and enterprise environments. At LinkedIn, I work on data movement and compliance infrastructure, designing systems that enable reliable, auditable data flows across dozens of internal domains and support privacy and regulatory guarantees at platform scale. My focus is on building infrastructure that is correct by design, resilient under change, and easy to operate long term. Previously, at Disney+ Hotstar, I worked on backend and platform services built to operate at extreme scale, supporting 50M+ concurrent live users. There, I contributed to improving system resilience, performance, and service reliability in a high-traffic, low-latency environment, working extensively with microservices and platform tooling. Across roles, I’ve focused on building reliable distributed systems, improving developer experience through strong documentation and tooling, and taking ownership of complex problems that span architecture, execution, and operations.
