What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build secure, observable systems and automate the hard parts of delivery. I want ownership over backend infrastructure, analytics, and reliability—paired with practical engineering collaboration and measurable impact.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer who focuses on building production-grade systems that improve reliability, security, and engineering efficiency. I’ve delivered end-to-end solutions—from vulnerability scanning to product analytics—using modern Python and cloud infrastructure.

In my current role, I built an end-to-end vulnerability scanning system for all container images using Dependency-Track and Trivy, enabling proactive threat detection. I also revamped the native JupyterHub UI into a modular React-based application, cutting workspace spawning time by 83% (from 30 minutes to 5 minutes).

Previously at Druva, I designed and maintained Thanos, a job orchestration service managing background jobs across multiple product teams. I redesigned a user import pipeline with a producer-consumer multi-threading model, reducing execution time from 8–10 hours to under 1 hour (10x improvement).

Earlier as a Scholar at SAP Labs India, I built an end-to-end chatbot for chaos engineering and developed services to extract, clean, and visualize real-time log data using Kubernetes and Kibana. I’m motivated by automation, observability, and shipping solutions that make teams faster and customers safer.
