“Cloud infrastructure/product engineer with end-to-end ownership of cloud-native storage/observability products, including taking an internal CMS to Google Cloud Marketplace and scaling to ~40,000 deployments. Strong in Kubernetes-based platforms (Operators, microservices, RabbitMQ) and performance/scalability work (e.g., 200% cluster capacity increase) plus internal tooling that materially improved SRE/QA debugging and release velocity.”

“JavaScript/React-focused engineer with meaningful open-source impact: redesigned cache key normalization for a client-side data fetching/caching library using deterministic hashing, added robust test coverage, and collaborated closely with maintainers through GitHub PRs/issues. Also drives measurable runtime improvements by profiling hot paths, refactoring core abstractions, and validating with benchmarks/load tests; has taken ownership of unowned initiatives like improving relevance/ranking in an internal search platform.”

“Backend-leaning full-stack engineer with e-commerce and analytics experience who modernized synchronous order workflows into a Kafka-based event-driven architecture (Java/Spring Boot) to reduce checkout latency and peak-traffic failures. Has built production FastAPI services with JWT/RBAC and strong testing/observability, delivered React+TypeScript reporting dashboards, and handled AWS scaling incidents end-to-end (RDS read latency mitigated with read replicas and query tuning).”

“Full-stack engineer with Cisco supply-chain and Wipro internal platform experience, focused on customer-facing UI performance and secure backend services.

“Robotics engineer who built a 6-axis force-torque sensor system end-to-end at ROAM Lab, including electronics, low-level drivers, and ROS2 live inference with time-series deep learning (ultimately a 1D ResNet) to handle highly noisy, session-shifting signals. Also upgraded tactile manipulation models to time-series inputs by modifying long-standing ROS architectures, and has prior experience in defense (L3Harris) with production-grade testing and code review practices; published work: arxiv.org/abs/2410.03481.”

“Product-focused full-stack engineer building a GenAI-powered case summarization workflow for a telemetry dashboard, spanning React/TypeScript UI (confidence indicators, reasoning traces) and Python/FastAPI backend with caching to control LLM latency/cost. Has operated services on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS Postgres, S3) and Kubernetes, and has hands-on experience resolving real production latency incidents through query/index optimization and caching.”

“Built and productionized an AI extension for JetBrains IDEs providing coding assistance, testing, security sweeps, and documentation generation using both an internal LLM and third-party models (e.g., Gemini, Claude).
