About

Results-driven Senior Software Engineer with 8.5+ years of experience in designing, building, and scaling cloud-native, distributed systems on Microsoft Azure. Proven expertise in architectural modernization, Kubernetes (AKS) migrations, identity & access management (Azure AD / Entra ID), and platform reliability engineering. Spearheaded modernization of the Azure Cache for Redis control plane—migrating from legacy infrastructure to .NET 8 microservices on AKS—and led multiple GA releases that improved deployment velocity and service reliability. Demonstrated deep technical leadership through end-to-end authentication integrations, release automation, and cross-team mentorship. Recently transitioned to Azure’s AI Foundry initiative, contributing to Agentic Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) innovations and co-developing an Azure-native MongoDB MCP server to enable intelligent, data-driven AI workloads. Recognized for driving secure, scalable, and production-grade solutions that bridge traditional infrastructure with emerging AI ecosystems.

  • Modernized the entire control plane service stack to .NET 8.0, refactoring legacy dependencies, optimizing startup latency, and transitioning to Kestrel for improved performance and scalability.
  • Decomposed monolithic control plane into microservices, thus enabling modular deployments and faster iteration cycles.
  • Led migration of the Redis control plane from legacy VMSS infrastructure to AKS, implementing a Traffic Manager–based canary rollout strategy to ensure zero-downtime deployments.
  • Designed and implemented Azure AD (EntraID) integration to enable password-less authentication and fine-grained access control for Redis service operations.
  • Enhanced redis platform security by migrating token validation logic to a secure MISE host library.
  • Redesigned the release pipeline, reducing deployment time from 30 days to 14 days and enabling a bi-monthly release cadence with improved validation.
  • Developed release automation scripts in PowerShell and Azure CLI, minimizing manual interventions and removing dependencies on SRE support.
