About

I am a Software Engineer at Microsoft specializing in large-scale distributed systems, AI infrastructure, and performance engineering. My core responsibilities include developing scalable features in Azure AI Search, optimizing indexing/query performance, and integrating LLMs to streamline internal testing workflows. With prior experience as a Data Scientist and ML Engineer, I’ve led initiatives involving data pipeline design, model deployment, and production-grade automation across cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, and Azure. I work extensively with Python, Go, Kubernetes, Kafka, and serverless technologies to build resilient and efficient systems. A Google Summer of Code alumnus and open-source contributor, I’ve also contributed to platforms like OpenMetadata and Flyte. I bring a strong focus on clean code, observability, and developer experience, and I thrive in cross-functional, agile teams delivering end-to-end solutions.
