About

I’m a results-driven software engineer with 7+ years of experience in building scalable, high-performance distributed systems across cloud and on-prem environments. Currently at Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), I specialize in developing diagnostic tools and microservices using Go, Python, and C++. My work focuses on improving cluster health visibility, reducing incident resolution times, and enabling production-grade observability through Prometheus and Grafana integrations. Throughout my career, I’ve led and delivered solutions across diverse domains—ranging from low-latency 5G/NR telecom features at National Instruments to microservices development at Huawei and Confluent. I bring deep experience in backend systems, performance tuning, and DevOps tooling (Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform). My approach combines strong CS fundamentals (B.Tech + MS in Software Engineering) with a passion for engineering clean, robust solutions that scale. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy solving complex problems that make systems more reliable and efficient. 🔧 Specialties: Distributed Systems • Microservices • C++ • Go • Python • Kubernetes • Prometheus • Kafka • Cloud Infrastructure • Observability

1. Led design, implementation and cross-regional collaboration (IDC & US) to add InfiniBand health checks in CHD.
2. Designed and implemented a multithreaded CLB config check using BFS achieved processing rate of 1248 checks/min.
3. Led the design and development of cluster health tool, that scan for all the outlier GPUs/switches from a cluster by undergoing 30+ checks saving 30mins/incident by pin-pointing bad devices
4. Dockerized the python-based CHD tool and validated end-to-end functionality in production-like environment
5. Designed and developed a Go microservice for host-mapping, integrating with Kafka for event-driven GPU-interface→customer-tenancy mappings and exposing metrics to Prometheus.
6. Automated the onboarding of ocibuild service to the cn-mapping repo, eliminating manual effort and errors.
7. Instrumented Plan Service APIs in Go with gRPC interceptor hooks, Prometheus client metrics, and Grafana alert rules for real-time monitoring and rapid issue resolution.1
