SWE II @ Dell Technologies | Engineer | Cloud Native | Golang | Kubernetes | IIITD

About

Passionate about building scalable, secure, and cloud-native software systems, I am a Software Engineer II at Dell Technologies with 3+ years of experience in backend engineering, platform development, and distributed systems. I enjoy designing high-performance solutions that solve real-world infrastructure challenges, with expertise spanning Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift, Golang, PostgreSQL, Apache Kafka, and cloud-native technologies. My experience includes building Kubernetes controllers and operators, designing event-driven architectures with Apache Kafka (Strimzi) and Debezium, implementing secure mTLS and PKI-based communication, developing high-performance gRPC and REST services, and automating deployments using Helm, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines. I have worked extensively with cloud-native databases such as PostgreSQL (CloudNativePG), OpenSearch, Redis, and observability stacks including Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, and Thanos. I also enjoy performance optimization, concurrency, and solving complex distributed systems problems using Go. Beyond software engineering, I have a strong research background in Natural Language Processing (NLP). My research on Named Entity Recognition (NER) for recipe understanding was published at the prestigious LREC-COLING 2024 conference, where I explored transformer-based deep learning models and achieved state-of-the-art performance on RecipeDB. I enjoy taking ownership of challenging engineering problems, learning new technologies, and collaborating across teams to build reliable, scalable, and secure software that creates meaningful impact.

Software Engineer II | Backend Development | Platform Engineering at Dell Technologies, Jul 2023 - Present · 3 yrs 2 mos, Hybrid, Software Engineer II | Backend Development | Platform Engineering Jul 2023 – Present • Designed and implemented a secure mutual TLS (mTLS) architecture across 28 microservices by building a three-tier PKI trust chain (Vault → cert-manager → short-lived certificates), enabling automated certificate rotation and 100% TLS compliance across production environments. • Led the migration to Strimzi-managed Apache Kafka (KRaft) with a highly available 3-broker architecture, implementing per-service ACLs, Debezium CDC pipelines, and automated certificate lifecycle management for secure event-driven communication. • Architected a distributed search platform using CQRS, Go microservices, OpenSearch, Kafka, and Debezium, enabling full-text search across millions of managed devices while reducing authorization overhead by 99.5% through Redis-based access control caching. • Developed Kubernetes controllers and Custom Resource Definitions (CRDs) to automate onboarding and lifecycle management of 75,000+ servers, improving scalability and increasing platform performance by 40% through optimized concurrent reconciliation. • Engineered Helm-based deployment pipelines for 60+ microservices across RKE2, K3s, and Red Hat OpenShift, supporting air-gapped deployments, rolling upgrades, disaster recovery with Velero, and highly available distributed storage. • Built a real-time telemetry platform using OpenTelemetry, Apache Kafka, Prometheus, and Thanos to monitor 20,000+ servers, reducing metric processing latency by 80% while maintaining 99.9% platform availability. • Optimized backend services by implementing gRPC communication, Go concurrency patterns, and pprof-based performance tuning, achieving up to 60% lower latency and 40% higher throughput. Integrated Keycloak (OAuth 2.0/OIDC) with OPA-based authorization to deliver secure identity and access management across the platform.

Intern | Golang | Security | Microservices at Dell Technologies, Jan 2023 - Jul 2023 · 7 mos, On-site, Bare Metal Orchaestrator - • Programmed a Command-Line Interface using the GoLang Cobra framework, enabling efficient license management and improving workflows for 1000+ users. • Implemented a Policy Manager with Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) using Open Policy Agent Kubernetes framwework to enhance security in Product, enabling secure authorization for 1,0000+ resources through API integration

Research Assistant at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology, Delhi, Aug 2021 - Jan 2023 · 1 yr 6 mos, Under the Guidance of Dr. Tavpritesh Sethi, IIITD - • Analyzed 2 million COVID-19 tweets for misinformation and emotional impact, using Twint, SNScrape, Twitter API, and Tweepy. Studied tweet popularity, hashtags, word usage, and emotions (Empath, Plutchik), uncovering 70% correlation with behavioral indicators and key events. Identified 30% increase in emotional sentiment spikes during major global events and change points.highlighting insights into public sentiment and misinformation. Innovation and Incubation Center ,IIITD - Created YouTube tutorial videos on Android Studio for startups at the Innovation and Incubation Center, IIITD enhancing technical skills and providing support to over 30 early-stage companies, accelerating their development process and improving their app development efficiency.
