• Led the design and development of scalable, modular cloud management solutions at Nutanix, transforming NCM into a flexible, observable, and performance-optimized platform—directly improving revenue impact and boosting license renewal rates through clear value delivery.
• 1. Led the design & development of Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) Marketplace, enabling the separation of key Cloud Management capabilities—Self Service, AI Operations, Cost Governance, and Security Central—from Prism Central. This strategic decoupling enhanced scalability and deployment flexibility of cloud management functions.
• 2. Integrated end-to-end observability into NCM, including distributed tracing, centralized logging, alerting, and usage analytics via Pulse. Additionally, contributed to Kubernetes resource sizing and re-architected core NCM services to optimize performance and scalability.
• 3. Designed and implemented the NCM Licensing Framework (PnP 2.0), introducing a tiered model (Ultimate, Professional, Trial) to streamline feature access, simplify subscription management, and support better renewal rates through clear value differentiation and scalable licensing architecture.
• 4. Re-architected the data access layer for NCM Self Service, enabling dynamic integration with various databases based on deployment environment and scale. This abstraction layer significantly improved flexibility, adaptability, and performance across cloud and on-prem deployments.
• Infra and tech-stack : Cloud (AHV, esxi), AWS,Azure Sdks, Kubernetes, Golang, Python, IDF (Cassandra based in-house data fabric layer), Redis, ElasticSearch, Postgres

• Designed and developed Secure Services Gateway, a high-throughput microservices-based platform that automates and orchestrates identity management workflows across distributed network compartments within the security engineering group. The system handles large volumes of sensitive transactions with a focus on sub-second latency, fault tolerance, and data correctness.
• Key contributions:
• Full-stack development of a secure, scalable orchestration layer for in-house security tools
• Addressed complex distributed systems challenges around messaging guarantees, reliability, and elastic scaling
• Mentored team members and drove engineering best practices to ensure consistent, secure code delivery

• At Western Digital, I played a pivotal role in architecting and delivering scalable, low-latency analytics platforms for silicon manufacturing data. I led the design and implementation of solutions that aggregated and correlated wafer, die, and lot testing data from disparate systems and geographies, transforming fragmented information into actionable insights.
• 🔹 Key Contributions:
• Unified Analytics Platform:
• Built a comprehensive solution for statistical aggregation (daily, weekly, monthly), including dashboards and insights using mean, trimmed mean, percentiles, standard deviation, quartiles, and other analytical models. Enabled proactive anomaly detection through alerting systems.
• High-Performance Cherry-Picking System:
• Designed a high-throughput, low-latency system to classify memory dies into quality buckets—reducing a traditionally multi-day process to just minutes. This involved building event-driven architectures, microservices, and custom rule engines.
• Event-Driven Integration:
• Integrated outlier and yield detection systems with distributed messaging queues, enabling real-time processing and seamless downstream consumption by other business-critical systems.
• Data Lake & Stream Infrastructure:
• Spearheaded the architecture of data lakes, streaming ingestion pipelines, and metadata correlation layers. Enabled the company to process massive-scale test data using modern distributed systems principles.
• . Designed and implemented a first-gen code generator using assembly and a custom rule engine with domain patterns, automating code synthesis and reducing manual effort in complex, config-heavy development workflows.
• Global Collaboration & Leadership:
• Successfully led cross-functional, multi-regional collaborations across teams in the US, Japan, China, and Malaysia, unifying processes and technologies and laying the groundwork for enterprise-scale data governance and faster decision-making.
