Launched a new AWS region (Australia) for the testing platform, now serving 360K requests/hour in production. ◦ Cut dashboard load time from 3–4 min →3 s via indexed queries, unblocking a stalled enterprise deal. ◦ Built the access-control system from the ground up — RBAC with multi-team support across∼14 enforcement points. ◦ Root-caused a stale role mapping that hid 756 builds from customer dashboards; shipped the data and access-check fix. ◦ Drove a 208×query speedup (9.6 s →46 ms) on a 524M-row table via a zero-downtime schema migration across 4 regions. ◦ Averted an outage via zero-downtime primary-key migrations on 3 tables of 1B+ rows (∼1TB) growing 2.9M rows/day. ◦ Shipped input validation on high-traffic APIs (100M+ calls), adding multi-language support across web and SDK clients. ◦ Built test-run aggregation combining a run and its re-runs into accurate consolidated duration, status, and ordering. ◦ Cut database CPU from 96% to stable by offloading heavy aggregate queries to a columnar store (ClickHouse). ◦ Remediated SQL injection across 50+ APIs and rolled out CI security scanning covering∼98% of traffic.

About

Backend engineer with 4+ years building and scaling production infrastructure. Currently on the Backend Platform team at BrowserStack, where I've driven a 208x query speedup on a 524M-row table, architected a CDC pipeline (MySQL → ClickHouse) handling 5B+ inserts/updates at 10TB scale, and shipped zero-downtime schema migrations on tables with 1B+ rows. Core stack: Go, Ruby on Rails, Java/Spring Boot, SQL, Kafka, ClickHouse, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes. Before BrowserStack, I spent 3+ years at Zus (formerly 0chain) on backend infrastructure for a blockchain storage platform — optimizing S3-compatible storage at 500M+ files / 40TB+ scale, and building the Go SDK powering 10K+ concurrent transactions. Active open-source contributor: Google Summer of Code 2022 with Oppia Foundation, and contributions to GNOME. Interested in backend/infrastructure roles at companies with strong engineering and open-source cultures.
