About

Software engineer specialized in backend and distributed systems. At Meta, I work for WhatsApp groups backend service. The service is responsible for storing billions of customer groups and serving read/write requests on WhatsApp groups. I worked on user facing features: Support to add MetaAI as a participant of a group, enforcing group level privacy settings. Skills: Erlang, RPC, GraphQL, RocksDB, Capacity planning, Emergency readiness during peak traffic events Previously at Amazon Web Services, I worked on the CloudTrail team, building large-scale event processing and analytics systems used by enterprise customers for security auditing and monitoring. My work included designing event-driven architectures, building customer-facing analytics features, and enabling infrastructure-as-code integrations. I enjoy solving problems involving latency improvements, scalability, reliability, and high-throughput systems. My experience spans backend platforms, distributed data processing, cloud infrastructure, and developer-facing platforms. I’m particularly interested in building resilient systems that operate at global scale and improving infrastructure that powers critical developer and customer experiences.
