## Headline

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\.
