What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead architecture and delivery for large-scale backend, distributed-systems, telemetry, or data-platform products while mentoring engineers and setting API, operability, and design standards.

At Nutanix, I founded and architected the Insights telemetry platform connecting 125k customer clusters, 300k nodes, and 25k customers to Nutanix services. I built its end-to-end telemetry, ingestion, API, storage, and observability architecture, processing 10 TB of data per day.

I’ve reduced platform compute costs by 3×, cut portal load times by 71–93%, improved API performance by 75%, and mentored a team of eight engineers. Previously, I built Kindle recommendation systems at Amazon, electronic trading platforms at FlexTrade, and networking and multicast-routing software at Huawei, EION, and Juniper.
