About

As a Software Engineer II at Microsoft, I contribute to the development of high-performance storage solutions for Azure Cloud as part of the Accelerated DPU DirectDrive (Ultra-Disk) DataPath team. My work focuses on NVMe-based virtual disk architecture, RDMA-enabled data paths, and advanced DPU technologies. These efforts aim to enhance storage capabilities through slicing, replication, and coordination on FunOS-powered DPUs. With a Bachelor of Technology degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology, I have a strong foundation in engineering principles. My career includes experience with large-scale distributed systems at Dell, high-performance network routers at Cisco, and automotive communication systems at Bosch, with expertise in programming languages like Python, C, and C++. My goal is to drive innovation in complex systems and cloud infrastructure.
