  • As a Platform Team member, I define, design, and implement new algorithms, architectures, and frameworks for various mission-critical services running in Amazon Cloud (AWS). I am also involved in troubleshooting and resolving critical issues to ensure availability. I help teams gain insights into their services by identifying bottlenecks and providing solutions to circumvent them. Part of the Data Platform senior leadership building block, object &, file storage System; distributed high-performance key-value datastores, and data integration platforms.
  • Developed a scalable and reliable Global Data Storage System that was responsible for object, block, and media-specific storage systems for Netflix Streaming and Studios. This is instrumental in building the next-generation media-aware storage and transport system for the Netflix studios named Global Storage at an Exabyte scale.
  • Partnered with Memcached Open Source community and drove various features in it like native encryption, external storage support on SSD/NVMe, LRU Crawler, Memcached Proxy, etc.
  • Enhanced EVCache with features like persistence, encryption, cache warming, hashing of keys, auto compression & scaling, data coherency, and eventual consistency.
  • Developed resiliency framework so that we can keep serving customers even when most of the services are not available or not reachable i.e. degraded service instead of no service.
  • Part of the resiliency efforts to make the cross-region movement of traffic. We are now able to move traffic from one AWS region and rebalance it across other AWS regions in a few minutes.
  • Developed systems for security services for credit card fraud detection, account take over, certificate management, etc.
