About

Software engineering professional with 9+ years of experience in designing, building, and optimizing enterprise applications and products. I have worked at leading organizations including Uber, GitHub, Microsoft, and Visa, delivering customer-centric products, IAM solutions, data and insights platforms, and automation frameworks that operate at large scale. My experience spans the full software development lifecycle, from system design and architecture to implementation and production delivery. I bring strong technical expertise in Go (Golang), Java, C/C++, Spring, SQL, Kafka, Hadoop, REST, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), microservices, and system design. At Uber, I lead the design and development of a identity and access management platform governing 250K+ infrastructure resources supporting various models including role based access control (RBAC) and group based access control (GBAC). Key contributions include building an LLM - based agent orchestrator for role mining thus reducing access overprovisioning by 60%, developing scalable and reliable platform to manage permissions in near real time, automation initiatives that eliminated 79% of unused accesses and saved 7000+ hours of productivity annually. Previously, at GitHub I worked on building user interface and data ingestion pipeline for the new GitHub Actions Insights platform enabled for 200+ organizations and enterprises handling the scale of 1M+ daily customers requests . At Microsoft, I optimized Azure DevOps Test Plans APIs, reducing response time by 50% for over 1M global users. Earlier at Visa, I developed ETL frameworks, data consistency solutions, and machine learning models to improve data integrity and detect anomalies in financial transaction trends. I hold a Master of Science in Computer Science with specialization in Machine Learning from Georgia Tech and am a published researcher in image processing and two-time academic excellence award recipient. I am passionate about solving complex engineering problems and collaborating with teams to build high impact software systems.
