SWE-2 @ Cisco

About

I'm a software engineer who enjoys taking messy, high-scale operational problems and turning them into reliable, well-engineered systems. At Cisco, I build backend automation services and internal developer tools in Python and REST APIs that reduce manual engineering effort across distributed, multi-region environments — including an AI-powered troubleshooting assistant that uses LLM workflows, AI agents, and RAG pipelines to help platform teams triage and resolve incidents faster. I care about systems that hold up under real production load: I've worked on CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, Docker), observability stacks (Splunk, Grafana), and event-driven architectures (Kafka, Redis) with fault-tolerant, at-least-once message processing. Outside of work, I built IncidentFlow, a distributed incident orchestration platform exploring Kafka-based event streaming, consumer groups, dead-letter queues, and horizontal scaling. Comfortable across the stack — from Python/FastAPI backends and API design to Kubernetes and infrastructure automation — and always looking for the next hard, interesting problem. Open to Software Engineer / Backend Engineer roles where I can build systems at scale. B.Tech in Computer Science, BMS College of Engineering (CGPA 9.2/10). Let's connect.
