I've built distributed backend and developer platforms that improve reliability, scale, and engineering velocity.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I've built distributed backend systems and internal developer platforms for over 20 years, most recently leading storage and reliability work at Broadcom's Symantec Enterprise Division.
At Meta, I built multi-language clients for Facebook's Remote Execution platform, supporting more than 1B daily actions and helping deliver 2x faster builds and 10x faster instrumentation tests. I also contributed to Buck2 integration and scaling, improving latency and upload/download performance.
At Broadcom, I redesigned storage and write-access patterns for a multi-tenant cloud platform, eliminating about 90% of redundant data and reducing GCP costs. Across Amazon and Symantec, I've architected cloud platforms, hardened infrastructure, mentored engineers, and made complex systems easier for engineering teams to operate.
