About

Backend engineer working on distributed systems and platform infrastructure at Zomato. I spend most of my time on the unglamorous parts of scale: cutting CPU on Go workers processing 2 TB/day of logs by 64% (~$10K/month saved), taking OpenSearch query latency from ~3s to ~50ms, and reducing Kafka consumer lag by 46% through DynamoDB sharding. I own observability and PagerDuty on-call for the Zomato For Enterprise platform — SLIs, Grafana/VictoriaMetrics dashboards, SLO alerting, and the 2 AM incidents that follow. Outside work I build in the open. Wanderlust has 2K+ forks and 30+ contributors, my VS Code extension has 4,700+ active users, and my Stack Overflow answers have reached 15M+ people (#1 worldwide, Jan 2023). Currently: Go, Kafka, Kubernetes, gRPC, DynamoDB, OpenSearch, AWS, Rest APIs
