About

I am a Software Engineer at Cisco specializing in cloud-scale backend systems, distributed infrastructure, and high-performance networking. My core focus is on systems engineering for developer platforms, specifically building the underlying infrastructure, environments, and tooling that allow Agentic AI to execute autonomous software engineering workflows. On the AI infrastructure side, I design and architect custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, reusable engineering workflows, and project-aware tooling. This infrastructure provides the necessary context, runtime environment, and guardrails for LLM agents like Claude Code and Cursor to securely execute end-to-end software engineering tasks across implementation, testing, debugging, and deployment. Complementing my work in developer tooling, I develop high-performance cloud security backend infrastructure and actively contribute to the Linux Foundation’s FD.io VPP (Vector Packet Processing) open-source project. Outside of production systems, I continuously sharpen my problem-solving skills through competitive programming, maintaining rankings as a Codeforces Expert, LeetCode Knight, and CodeChef 4★.
