About

As a Senior Software Engineer at Microsoft, I design and build deployment and configuration management systems for Azure Storage, Microsoft's hyperscale cloud storage platform serving multiple exabytes of data globally. I lead the development of deployment pipeline features for Azure managed disks, integrating configuration rollout flows across multiple infrastructure orchestration platforms. My work spans API design, safe deployment practices, config orchestration, and incident management for a fleet of thousands of globally distributed storage clusters. I collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams across geographies to deliver reliable, scalable deployment systems, conducting thorough code reviews, end-to-end testing, and performance optimization. With over 11 years of experience in backend engineering, distributed systems, and cloud-native applications, I have designed and delivered large-scale systems at Samsung Research, McAfee, and IBM Labs. My expertise spans technologies including C#/.NET, Node.js, Golang, TypeScript, gRPC, Kubernetes, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines. I have a proven track record of building high-availability services, optimizing system performance, and driving deployment automation at scale. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Electronics and Instrumentation and multiple certifications in relevant technologies. I am passionate about building infrastructure that powers millions of users and drives engineering excellence.
