About

I am a results-driven Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience designing and scaling distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and high-performance storage services. Currently at Oracle Object Storage, I lead impactful engineering initiatives—from migrating services to Java 17 for a 30–40% throughput boost, to building AI-powered automation that saves 4–5 engineering days per month, to architecting greenfield systems managing thousands of hosts with zero manual intervention. My expertise spans backend engineering, observability, DevOps, and performance optimization, with hands-on experience in Java, Go, Python, Terraform, and cloud-native technologies. I thrive on solving complex infrastructure challenges, improving system reliability, and driving measurable results. With a strong academic foundation (MTech in IT, CGPA 9.2 from IIIT Allahabad) and recognition through GATE qualification and Oracle Hackathon honors, I bring both technical depth and innovation to every project. Passionate about distributed systems and AI-driven automation, I aim to build resilient, scalable solutions that empower organizations to deliver at cloud scale.
