About

I work on backend and distributed systems where performance actually matters. Currently an Associate Member of Technical Staff at Salesforce, building and optimizing C++ systems that deal with real-world scale, concurrency, and reliability challenges. My journey here came through the acquisition of Informatica, where I previously worked on both cloud and on-prem products. Across both environments, I’ve worked on problems that show up only at scale — multithreading issues, memory leaks, performance bottlenecks, and system stability in distributed setups. Over time, I’ve gravitated toward systems work — understanding how things behave internally and making them faster, more efficient, and more reliable. What I enjoy: • Breaking down complex system problems • Debugging issues that aren’t obvious • Optimizing performance and memory usage • Building scalable distributed systems Tech: C++, Multithreading, Distributed Systems, Performance Engineering, Backend Systems Always up for conversations around systems, scalability, and interesting engineering challenges.

I’m a backend engineer specializing in C++ and high-performance systems.
Currently working at Salesforce, I focus on building and optimizing backend components where performance, memory efficiency, and scalability matter. My work involves multithreaded systems, debugging complex issues like memory leaks and heap corruption, and improving system reliability for real-world customer use cases.
I started my journey at Informatica, where I worked on on-premise products, contributing to performance improvements, resolving critical customer issues, and enhancing system stability.
What interests me most is solving problems that aren’t obvious — the kind that require digging deep into systems, understanding how things break under scale, and making them better.
Tech focus:
C++ (Core)
Multithreading & Concurrency
Performance & Memory Optimization
Backend / Systems Engineering
Always open to connecting with people working on interesting system-level challenges.
