## 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\.
