About

I’m a Cloud Engineer with 4+ years of experience building and running real-time data platforms across AWS, GCP, Azure and hybrid environments. I work mainly on data streaming, cloud automation, and system reliability using Apache Kafka, Apache Flink, Confluent Cloud, Terraform, Docker, and Kubernetes. At Confluent, I help enterprise teams design and run production-ready streaming systems. I build Kafka pipelines, automate cloud infrastructure, and set up monitoring. This helps teams move from early POCs to stable, scalable production deployments. My work has improved performance and reduced operational effort. Before Confluent, I worked at Cisco as a Cloud Engineer, where I focused on cloud automation, platform engineering, and backend development. I built CI/CD-driven cloud solutions using AWS, Jenkins, Terraform, Python, Docker, and Kubernetes. At Cisco, I also worked on backend and full-stack projects, building microservices, dashboards, and internal tools using Python, SQL, Django, Node.js, React, HTML, CSS, and REST APIs. This experience helped me understand how applications behave in production and design more reliable and scalable DevOps systems.
