• Worked in a team, that built new IBM Cloud service - Dynamic route server(DRS) from the scratch. • Designed and implemented the Learned Route Controller, a Kubernetes operator that reconciles BGP route advertisements and programs VPC routing tables in real time. • Engineered the compute health management framework, implementing health transitions, automated recovery workflows, and compute provisioning pipelines with feature-flag-driven image management. • Integrated DRS with Transit Gateway (TGW) service connections using BGP, maintaining concurrent control-plane operations, and automated refresh mechanisms to maintain routing consistency. • Delivered zone-aware routing enhancements to support IBM Cloud's multi-zone architecture and correct routing behavior • Onboarded DRS to IBM Cloud platform services by integrating Service Broker, Resource Controller, billing (BSS), and IBM Cloud Logs (ICL), while improving security through secret lifecycle management. • Enhanced the distributed state layer by implementing atomic Redis Lua scripts, heartbeat abstractions, and synchronization improvements for reliable controller reconciliation. • Authored Low-Level Design (LLD) documents and collaborated across multiple engineering teams to define architecture for routing, VNI lifecycle, peer management, and billing workflows. • Actively contributed to code quality through 100+ merged pull requests, 100+ pull request reviews, and contributions across multiple repositories.

About

I’m a software engineer at IBM Cloud (B.Tech, NIT Silchar ‘23), working on the control plane for Dynamic Route Server (DRS), a VPC service that learns BGP routes from multiple sources and propagates them to VPC routing tables in real time. At IBM I build Kubernetes operators and controllers and design reconciliation and health-driven failover for networking resources. I’ve integrated DRS with Transit Gateway and IBM Cloud’s multi-zone architecture, and I work on the distributed system involving multiple components. Before IBM, I spent 2 years at SAP Labs building Azure PostgreSQL infrastructure with Terraform and Go, deployed across 6 global landscapes with regional data-sovereignty requirements. I like reliability problems: reconciliation loops, failure recovery, multi-zone consistency, and getting a service production-ready. Stack: Go, Python, C++, Kubernetes (client-go, controller-runtime, CRDs), Redis, PostgreSQL, Terraform, AWS, GCP Open to backend / platform / cloud infrastructure roles.
