About

I’m a Backend Engineer at Atlassian (Ex-Microsoft), working on distributed systems, scalability, and cloud platforms. At Atlassian, I build and scale cloud migration systems that operate at large scale, focusing on reliability, performance, and observability. My work includes: * Designing frameworks for faster debugging and root cause analysis (significantly reducing incident triage time) * Building data-driven and ML-assisted systems to improve migration planning and predict performance * Optimizing enterprise-scale migrations for high-profile customers Previously at Microsoft, I worked on global supply chain platforms, where I: * Architected and scaled microservices across 10+ countries, achieving 99.9% uptime * Built distributed data systems and ETL pipelines powering business-critical workflows across finance, returns, and compliance * Optimized large-scale data processing systems, reducing execution time by ~70% and resource usage by ~50% * Improved system reliability and reduced incident resolution time through observability and monitoring systems * Developed an AI-powered Copilot to automate decision-making workflows Across my experience, I’ve worked extensively with: * Distributed systems & microservices architectures * Scalable backend systems (Java, Spring Boot) * Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) * Data processing systems (Spark, ETL pipelines) I’m particularly interested in: * Distributed systems & scalability * Backend infrastructure & system design * High-scale data and platform engineering
