Senior Software Engineer @ Atlassian \| Building Reliable Systems at Scale \| Distributed Systems · Cloud · ex\-Microsoft, ex\-IBM

## About

Senior Software Engineer with \~10 years building backend and distributed systems across Atlassian, Microsoft, and IBM\. I work on the systems that have to stay up and stay fast — high\-throughput data services, cloud storage, multi\-tenant platform services and I care about the unglamorous parts: reliability, scale, and clean design that survives contact with production\. At Atlassian I build and own backend services powering Jira/Confluence for millions of users\. I started my career at IBM India Software Labs on the Storage Development team\. My MS \(by Research\) is from IIT Madras, where I worked on SDN\-based architectures for next\-gen LTE networks — including a published paper on Evolved Packet Core design\.
