IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with 5.5+ years of experience designing resilient distributed systems, high-performance backend services, and enterprise-grade data infrastructure.

At Cohesity I led SSL/TLS and Kerberos enablement for Apache Cassandra clusters, engineered resilient backup/restore automation for Cassandra and MongoDB, and improved fault-injection testing to validate system resilience. At ThoughtSpot I restructured public APIs (72+), optimized liveboard rendering for a 62.5% performance gain, and delivered an 87.5% efficiency boost for object upgrades using advanced concurrency patterns.
I hold a B.Tech in Computer Science from IIT Guwahati and have built production-grade features across storage, distributed processing, and metadata/configuration platforms. I bring a pragmatic, test-driven approach to system design and a track record of shipping scalable, secure solutions for enterprise customers.
