About

I'm a backend-focused Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable, resilient, and customer-centric systems in cloud-native environments. At VMware (now Broadcom), I’ve led the design and delivery of high-impact platforms—including a firewall log analytics system processing over 10M messages/min, and the migration of legacy services to Kubernetes-based microservices with zero-downtime deployments. I bring a strong foundation in distributed systems, cloud architecture (AWS/GCP), and infrastructure automation, along with a collaborative, mentorship-driven mindset. I enjoy solving complex problems with clean, maintainable solutions and continuously strive to improve both product quality and engineering culture.
