## Headline

Member of Technical Staff at Nutanix

## About

I’m a Backend and Cloud Engineer with 6 years of experience designing and scaling distributed systems that power large\-scale, resilient platforms\. My passion lies in solving complex infrastructure challenges — from live VM migrations to optimizing data pipeline for massive workloads\. Currently, I work at Nutanix, where I’ve led efforts in cross\-cluster live migration and VM scheduling optimization\. Previously, at Postman, I engineered high\-performance data pipelines that cut cloud costs, proving that great design can be both fast and efficient\. I enjoy working across the stack where backend performance meets cloud scalability — whether that’s building microservice communication frameworks, improving scalability, or collaborating with teams on distributed system design\. Outside of work, I’m always exploring new cloud technologies, reading distributed systems papers, or experimenting with open\-source infrastructure projects\. Let’s connect if you’re building systems that need to scale — or just love talking about distributed schedulers, data pipelines, and the beauty of well\-architected systems\.
