What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend role where I can own complex migrations and build reliable distributed systems—shipping Go/Python microservices with strong observability, security, and scalability, in teams that value autonomy and measurable impact.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer focused on building scalable, intelligent backends and distributed systems. I bring end-to-end ownership—from performance bottlenecks to secure APIs—using Go, Python, and cloud infrastructure.

At WEnergy Software, I migrated a legacy Ruby on Rails ERP monolith to a scalable Go microservices architecture, resolving critical application bottlenecks. I built real-time telemetry pipelines for zero data loss, designed a custom background workflow engine with independently retryable rollback-capable jobs, and exposed core logic through secure, parameterized REST and gRPC APIs under strict auth.

Previously at Egnyte, I scaled a distributed hybrid cloud storage backend in Go and C with Linux POSIX APIs, enabling resumable I/O in Docker/Kubernetes for large files. I developed SmartCache and a region-aware Egnyte Lock Manager for strong consistency, built a kernel-aware health monitoring framework for Kubernetes microservices, and improved ingestion/transfer performance using Kafka pipelines.

Earlier at Persistent Systems, I helped drive major architecture transformations (Django monolith to Go microservices), migrated REST to gRPC, and built high-throughput job processing that scaled from 42K to 130K jobs/min. I also value autonomy and clear ownership—I’ve worked remotely for 7 years—and I continue exploring AI-driven systems through my “Singularity (AI)” agentic orchestration project.

Software Engineer

Mar 2023 - Mar 2025 (2 years)

Scaled hybrid-cloud distributed storage in Go and C on Linux POSIX APIs to handle 4TB+ files, adding resumable I/O and state persistence in Docker/Kubernetes for higher reliability and availability. Built kernel-aware services (SmartCache, lock manager, health monitoring) and optimized storage APIs and filesystem traversal to boost throughput 30% and cut traversal time from 12+ hours to under 1 ho

Lead Software Engineer

Aug 2019 - Mar 2023 (3 years 7 months)

Improved Golang API handler and job services performance by 54% and led a migration from Django monolith to a Go microservice architecture. Reduced server payload by 43% and cut failed-job resync time from 2+ hours to 25 minutes while scaling throughput from 42K to 130K jobs/min with Kubernetes deployments and observability (Prometheus/Grafana).
