What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead cloud storage/SaaS engineering, drive zero-downtime migrations, and improve performance with measurable outcomes. I enjoy collaborating cross-functionally and owning systems end-to-end.

I’m a senior staff software engineer and software developer with 5 years of experience building scalable applications. I lead engineering efforts across cloud-based systems, with a consistent focus on performance and reliability, including a 30% reduction in server response time across multiple projects.

At Druva Data Solutions Private Limited, I contribute to the core storage team and help design and build a next-generation cloud storage architecture. I led a control plane migration from regional to master architecture with zero downtime—covering database and compute migration—and reduced dead-load cost by ~30%.

I also strengthened critical storage capabilities as a Staff Software Engineer, enhancing provisioning algorithms to dynamically scale DynamoDB IOPS based on real-time consumption and throttling. This delivered ~10% efficiency improvement and COGS reduction, while resolving 20+ critical defects to significantly improve storage platform stability.

I’m the kind of engineer who turns ambiguity into measurable outcomes—whether it’s building an in-memory DynamoDB implementation in Golang to accelerate testing by ~80%, optimizing DynamoDB read patterns to cut operational costs and improve API latency by ~40%, or developing shared SDK utilities to reduce SDK development time by 50–70%. I value cross-functional collaboration and earning trust through results, recognized by quarterly awards for deduplication, anomaly detection, early ransomware detection and recovery, and other high-impact improvements.
