I build distributed systems and cloud-native infrastructure in Go — from scratch. At Black Duck, I architected an MCP server that autonomously triaged security vulnerabilities across 246 enterprise repositories, built automation frameworks covering 950+ repos for the WhiteHat security org, and wrote a fully automated migration script that moved 105 Kubernetes services from Kapitan to Helm across 7 environments — consolidating from 7 repository dependencies to 1 and cutting new engineer onboarding time significantly. Outside work, I'm an active open source contributor to Karmada, a CNCF-graduated multi-cluster Kubernetes control plane, with 4 merged PRs into the core repository. My personal projects go deep on systems fundamentals: · EchoFS — a distributed file system in Go with adaptive quorum/async replication: improved write availability from 14.8% → 83.1% during network partition events, P99 latency from 6330 ms → 1820 ms · PulseRoute — a gRPC load balancer with EWMA scoring and circuit breakers: cut P99 latency by 35–50% · Sluice — a Kubernetes-native log budgeting controller with custom CRDs: reduced excessive log ingest by 35–40% Currently finishing my B.E. in Computer Science at BMS College of Engineering (Aug 2026). Open to full-time roles in infrastructure engineering, platform engineering, or distributed systems — starting late 2026.
