About

Engineering Manager and hands-on distributed systems builder on Azure’s Software Load Balancer, a DPDK-based Layer 4 networking platform handling millions of flows per second across Azure availability zones. I lead and grow a team building next-generation packet processing and traffic management systems, writing production Rust and C on performance-critical code paths while driving system design and architecture. My background includes several years building distributed control plane systems in Go, and my work spans high-performance networking and infrastructure foundations for modern cloud and AI/ML workloads. Previously an early member of Azure Container Networking, building core networking primitives for containerized workloads at cloud scale. 10+ years building infrastructure and control/data plane systems at hyperscale. Always happy to connect with others working on high-performance networking, distributed infrastructure, and hyperscale systems.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
