What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own observability, reliability, and automation—building dashboards, alerting, and secure backend services that reduce manual effort and improve incident response, in a team that values strong engineering practices.

I’m a Software Engineer who builds reliable monitoring and automation systems—turning raw telemetry into actionable insights. At IBM Bangalore, I designed and developed a lightweight flow collection service using eBPF, built Grafana dashboards for production observability, and implemented metric- and log-based alerting with Prometheus/PromQL to speed up detection and root-cause analysis.

I also deliver measurable efficiency gains by integrating cloud APIs and creating end-to-end tooling. I automated deployment status checks across regions and built a React application from scratch, reducing status monitoring effort by over 90%, while contributing to production reliability through alerting strategies, mitigation workflows, and rapid incident support. Previously, I led security scans with Fortify/BlackDuck and developed backend and full-stack features for banking and social-profile data workflows.
