## 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\. Technical Skills: Languages: GoLang, Python, Java, C/C\+\+, SQL, JavaScript, Bash, HTML/CSS Cloud & Platform: Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift, Docker, Helm, RKE2/K3s, Istio, Longhorn CSI, Ceph, etcd, Nginx, Ansible Backend & Data: Apache Kafka \(Strimzi\), Debezium CDC, PostgreSQL \(CloudNativePG\), OpenSearch, Redis/Valkey, RabbitMQ, MySQL Security: HashiCorp Vault/OpenBao, cert\-manager, mTLS, X\.509 PKI, OAuth 2\.0/OIDC, Keycloak, Open Policy Agent \(OPA\) Observability & DevOps: Prometheus, Thanos, VictoriaMetrics, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, Telegraf, Fluent Bit, Fluentd, Jenkins, Git, Make, Postman Concurrency & Parallelism: Goroutines, channels, mutexes, waitgroups, atomic operations, context cancellation, race\-condition handling, parallel processing, and performance optimization\.
