About

I am currently a Senior Software Engineer at Zoox for the Robot Software Infrastructure team. Previous at Atlassian, I have lead features that unlocked millions in cloud revenue, built bots that saved hours of developer time and built tools that uncovered critical bugs early in the pipeline saving 100s of incidents. I was earlier a Software Engineer at Tesla working on multiple full-stack applications that optimized material delivery of Model 3 parts to the assembly line saving millions of dollars in downtime each quarter. I had been instrumental in designing, developing and deploying JEDI - a microservices-based platform that hosted intelligent algorithms by interacting with all automated systems in the factory. I am always curious about picking new frameworks/technology, sport, hobby. I prefer being Jack Of All Trades even if it means being master of none. Thanks to working in two different cultural environments, I am aware of what not to do and as well as the right things to do to get the job done.
