About

As a Software Engineer at Microsoft working on Azure containers, I am working on caching images on compute clusters to improve cold container startup times, net disk utilisation and improving network congestion from registry on caching new images. Previously, I gained experience with managing deployments and backend for Microsoft Partner Center Services, managing payables data feeds and developing open-source tools and techniques for sampling with Knowledge Compilations. With over 5 years of experience, I have a track record for solving complex and challenging problems using innovative and cutting-edge technologies. My engineering expertise is built on solid technical and theoretical Computer Science foundation further demonstrated with published research in academia.

Software Engineer 2 | Azure Container Instances

May 2022 – Present · 4 yrs 1 mo · United States

Worked on caching frequently used container images on network disks for Azure Containers to improve disk utilisation, bandwidth congestion and container startup times. This further results in reducing the scale out time for creating new host compute clusters and the time required for caching a new image on existing clusters.
Built with C#, Powershell scripts, Network storage, NoSQL Cosmos Db alongwith windows utilities for networking, disk operations etc.
Worked on implementing new features and fixing bugs for Microservice based Azure Containers Instances' control plane and data plane services. Specifically contributed to routing the container start, delete, exec and getLogs operations from the control plane to a newer alternative backend data plane.
