About Me
I'm drawn to problems where scale changes everything — where the naive solution breaks and you have to think differently. I find experimentation particularly fascinating: the challenge of measuring product impact across billions of users, where even small metric movements carry real weight.
I believe in high code quality and reliability — whether that's through rigorous testing or leveraging AI-assisted development to ship faster without sacrificing correctness.
Outside of engineering, I'm an avid runner, enjoy group fitness classes, love travelling, and spending quality time with my family.

Part of the Emails and Push Notifications team responsible for reaching 4M+ Houzz users. Contributed to migrating from SendGrid to self-hosted mail servers by ramping up and maintaining reputation scores for both transactional and promotional emails. Built a lightweight service to dynamically adjust mail server weights to reduce traffic to servers with high spam/bounce rates, and developed a Kafka consumer that pre-builds emails ahead of campaign kickoff to enable bulk sends with minimal latency.
Research Assistant & Co-Op
September 2017 – May 2019CYR3CON · Tempe, AZ
CYR3CON is an ASU-founded research startup that crawls the dark web to help clients monitor cyber attack threats from hacker communities. Developed RESTful APIs to expose threat and vulnerability data from MongoDB, set up Elasticsearch to enable fuzzy search across dark web intelligence and built APIs on top of it, and migrated manually provisioned AWS infrastructure to Terraform and CloudFormation scripts.
Software Engineer
October 2015 – July 2017Tata Consultancy Services · Bangalore, India
Worked with multiple clients in assessing cloud compatibility and migrating their on-premise servers to AWS using Terraform.
