About

Software Engineer at Nutanix building large-scale distributed systems for disaster recovery, backup, and cloud infrastructure. My work spans backend platform development, API design, workflow orchestration, observability, scalability, and reliability engineering, with experience delivering systems that support 10,000+ managed entities and reducing critical API latencies from seconds to sub-200ms. I enjoy taking ownership beyond implementation, driving cross-functional initiatives, collaborating with product and leadership teams, representing Nutanix at IndoML 2025, and communicating complex technical concepts to diverse audiences. Having interviewed senior leaders, led initiatives throughout college, and contributed to mentoring and education programs, I care deeply about combining strong technical execution with effective leadership and communication. Outside of work, I am passionate about education, mentoring, and community service. I have taught data analytics using R, volunteered in educational initiatives, and enjoy helping others grow in technology. My interests include distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, machine learning, developer productivity, and engineering leadership.

Work experience

Member of Technical Staff - 2 at Nutanix, Jul 2024 - Aug 2026 · 2 yrs 2 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, 1. Designed and developed distributed disaster recovery planning and execution services using Golang, gRPC, REST APIs, and microservices, supporting large-scale orchestration and workflow automation. 2. Reduced API response times from several seconds to ~200ms by redesigning data access patterns, optimizing filtering/indexing strategies, and improving backend service scalability. 3. Built end-to-end recovery job execution and validation workflows, including orchestration, status tracking, error propagation, filtering, sorting, and pagination. 4. Performed scalability modeling and storage footprint analysis validating support for 10,000 managed entities and ~70,000 execution-step/validation-status records, requiring only ~0.46 GB of database overhead per 20 recovery job executions. 5. Contributed to the architecture and implementation of downloadable disaster recovery reports, building scalable data aggregation pipelines and export strategies for large execution datasets. 6. Improved platform reliability by removing legacy dependencies, streamlining service enablement workflows, strengthening prechecks, and resolving distributed-service startup and orchestration issues. 7. Implemented Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) authorization and permission enforcement across recovery workflow APIs and execution services. 8. Developed interoperability and migration mechanisms between legacy and next-generation platform versions, including compatibility checks, data transformations, upgrade safeguards, and API isolation. 9. Designed validation frameworks for policy-driven automation, enforcing scheduling, configuration, and dependency constraints to prevent invalid deployments. 10. Investigated and resolved critical production issues involving distributed workflows, API correctness, migration edge cases, execution ordering, timeout handling, encoding, and UI-service integrations.

Member of Technical Staff -1 at Nutanix, Jul 2023 - Jul 2024 · 1 yr 1 mo, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, 1. Developed backend services and APIs for enterprise data protection workflows, including policy validation, category-based protection rules, and backward-compatible migrations between platform generations. 2. Implemented distributed tracing and telemetry across multiple microservices, enabling end-to-end request visibility, performance diagnostics, and rapid root-cause analysis of production issues. 3. Built storage analysis tooling to detect orphaned snapshots by reconciling physical storage state with system metadata, improving storage hygiene and operational efficiency. 4. Resolved complex production issues across backend, IAM, database, and UI layers, driving reliability improvements and reducing customer-facing defects.
