About

I'm a Software Engineer specializing in managing Kubernetes clusters across AWS, GCP, and Azure public clouds. At Confluent, we run stateful and data-intensive applications such as Kafka and Flink on Kubernetes clusters. With expertise in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and backend development, I design scalable, resilient cloud-native solutions. Previously, I worked on Oracle's Kubernetes Engine team, enhancing its managed Kubernetes service. I'm passionate about solving complex engineering challenges in cloud environments.
