• Designed and deployed a cloud-native secure web proxy solution with Cloud NAT using Terraform on GCP, leveraging native scalability to reduce operational complexity and enforce centralized access control policies for enterprise-wide outbound traffic management.
• Led SELinux hardening initiative on RHEL9, resolving compatibility issues across configuration management, security monitoring, and containerization tools. Collaborated cross-functionally to address deployment pipeline failures and permission conflicts.
• Mentored a summer intern to develop AI-powered automation for customer support workflows, including thread summarization and root-cause analysis of HTTP errors and connectivity issues using centralized logging. Reduced mean time to diagnose incidents by 90%.
• Enhanced proxy infrastructure to support multi-account cloud environments by improving configuration parsing and schema handling, ensuring backward compatibility and seamless connectivity across newly provisioned accounts.
• Collaborated with performance engineering to evaluate scalability and cost efficiency of different AWS instance types (Intel vs. Graviton), analyzing connection handling capacity and publishing sizing recommendations.
• Provided on-call support for critical infrastructure, including debugging connectivity issues and responding to service incidents.

• Worked on a Tier 0 forward proxy service providing secure internet access for enterprise applications, focusing on cloud cost optimization, 24/7 on-call support, and incident response for connectivity failures and security events.
• Led deployment of proxy infrastructure for a government cloud environment, delivering the project 60% ahead of schedule.
• Resolved a critical DNS bootstrapping circular dependency by implementing interim routing through NAT Gateway, then migrated to the target proxy architecture with zero downtime.
• Upgraded proxy infrastructure to support TLS 1.3 and resolved network configuration issues during OS migration from CentOS 7 to RHEL 9 across multi-cloud environments (AWS and Alibaba Cloud).
• Implemented cost attribution and security improvements by adding request validation to block unidentified traffic, enabling accurate cost allocation and strengthening access controls.
• Enhanced integration testing framework to validate multi-instance proxy deployments across different authentication modes. Migrated test infrastructure to RHEL9, implemented automated scheduling, and integrated real-time alerting—significantly improving reliability and observability.
• Implemented real-time activity tracking for outbound access control changes, enabling proactive monitoring and detailed error reporting, which reduced end-user inquiries by 95%.
• Hackathon: Automated release documentation using Git APIs and LLMs, eliminating manual tracking of code changes and improving development workflow efficiency by 90%.

• As an Analog Intern at Texas Instruments in the Analog Signal Chain Team, I was assigned with a problem statement to replace the cost-inefficient NI devices used for SPI communication. I achieved a 45% cost reduction and a clock speed exceeding 120 MHz by programming a FPGA device for SPI communication between multiple devices. I also developed a Python-based GUI for easier data entry and improved accessibility.
