Following a layoff in March 2025, I dedicated my time to advanced academic preparation for a Master’s in Computer Science (MSCS) at Northeastern University. Although visa processing constraints ultimately prevented enrollment for the Fall 2025 semester, I utilized the remainder of the year to sharpen my technical stack and transition back into the industry. This period allowed me to deepen my expertise in High Level Design, Cloud-native tools, Golang, Kubernetes, Docker and Terraform and successfully re-enter the workforce in early 2026.

https://github.com/hillsidelabs As one of the first engineers at Hillside Labs, I led the development of several key products: * Chet: Developed an innovative performance measurement tool that analyzes command execution times. Users simply prefix commands with 'chet' to gain valuable insights into command duration, OS details, Git repository information, and containerized execution status. Built with an SQLite database backend to store and analyze performance metrics, helping developers optimize workflow efficiency. * Specter AI: Architected an AI-powered assistant that identifies optimal and bottleneck APIs from OpenAPI/Swagger specifications. Tailored recommendations based on business size, potential use cases, and target demographics, enabling teams to make informed API selections for enhanced system performance and scalability. * UserUp: Engineered a comprehensive user management API with robust features including user CRUD operations, event tracking, email invitations, and preference settings. Implemented dual interfaces (gRPC and RESTful) to ensure seamless integration across various client applications.

About

🚀 Senior Engineer | Backend & Cloud Infrastructure | Golang, Kubernetes, gRPC I specialize in building and optimizing cloud-native systems, focusing on performance, security, and scalability. My expertise spans multi-cloud architectures, authentication frameworks, observability solutions, and distributed messaging systems. At ManifestIT, I led initiatives such as real-time Kubernetes observability using OpenTelemetry & Apache Pulsar, redesigned log injection architectures for efficiency, and developed secure enterprise authentication with Keycloak and Casbin. Previously, as a Founding Engineer at Hillside Labs, I built Chet, a high-performance command execution profiler leveraging SQLite for workflow analytics, and Specter AI, an API optimization assistant that streamlines API selection. At Razorpay, I played a key role in scaling payment infrastructure, automating merchant onboarding to reduce onboarding time by 20%, and redesigning microservices architecture with Golang & Twirp, improving system scalability and reducing latency. I also optimized real-time payment settlements, cutting processing times from 2-3 days to under 30 minutes. I thrive in fast-paced environments, solving complex technical challenges while aligning engineering decisions with business needs. Always open to discussing scalable architectures, performance optimizations, and system reliability. 🔗 Let’s connect!
