About

I build secure, distributed backend systems where reliability and security aren't afterthoughts — they're the foundation. At IBM, I design infrastructure for private OCI container registries running in air-gapped banking environments: REST APIs for full image lifecycle management, hardened mTLS/TLS certificate pipelines, and SSL diagnostic tooling that reduced debugging time by 99%. These are zero-fault-tolerance environments — a single certificate misconfiguration can take down regulated financial systems. Before IBM, I spent nearly 3 years at Intel building a distributed remote attestation platform in Golang — a system that cryptographically verifies hardware trust across 500+ edge deployments using TPM, IMA measurements, and NATS-based messaging. I engineered the attestation manager/verifier with circuit breakers achieving 99.99% reliability, contributed to Intel's Open Edge open-source project with 90% test coverage, and built GitOps CI/CD pipelines that cut deployment time by 70%. → Contributor to Intel Open Edge (open source) — 90% test coverage, 65% reduction in production incidents → Built a Python + Nmap Network Vulnerability Scanner with automated dashboards and reporting → Published IEEE research on Explainable AI for medical imaging — 96% accuracy, Grad-CAM interpretability → CompTIA Security+ certified Stack: Golang · Python · Kubernetes · Docker · REST APIs · gRPC · mTLS · PKI · TPM · OAuth2 · JWT · Terraform · Jenkins · PostgreSQL · NATS · AWS I'm drawn to backend and platform engineering roles at companies where scale, security, and correctness intersect — Stripe, Uber, Netflix, and similarly high-performance orgs.

  • Backend Developer · IBM
  • May 2025 – Present · Bengaluru, India
  • Designed and built REST APIs for self-signed OCI registry creation and full container image CRUD lifecycle — eliminated ~10-min manual provisioning process, cutting verification effort by 90% in air-gapped banking infrastructure.
  • Hardened NGINX reverse proxy with mTLS + TLS certificate lifecycle management, achieving 99.9% availability in regulated environments with no external network access.
  • Built Python SSL/TLS diagnostic tooling detecting handshake failures, certificate chain errors, and registry misconfigurations — reduced debugging time by ~99%.
  • Designed REST APIs for SWID tag license upload and automated system-wide license compliance scanning (cron, every 6 hrs), enabling continuous license health monitoring across deployments.
  • Diagnosed and resolved production certificate failures and OCI/non-OCI image upload bugs; embedded structured audit logging across LDAP and OAuth2 authentication flows.
