Experience

Member of Technical Staff 2 ยท Cohesity

Dec 2024 โ€“ Present

Bangalore, India

  • Led design & development of a cluster-wide GFlags intelligence platform (Python + AWS SSM) replacing manual SSH-based audits, layering Azure-hosted AI agents and n8n workflows to catch config drift daily โ€” cut high disk-space alerts by 90%.
  • Architected an OpsConsole-native scaling capability (FastAPI, MongoDB, Temporal, Angular) for approval-gated EC2 resizing with full audit trail, retry policies, and blast-radius isolation, replacing ad-hoc AWS Console changes.
  • Built an n8n-based disk-space triage agent that automates Jira, Prometheus, and cluster diagnostics to recommend cleanup, GFlag tuning, or escalation โ€” removing manual investigation for on-call engineers.
  • Shipped Fleet Operations on OpsConsole: durable Temporal workflows, fleet-wide AWS SSM execution, and a TypeScript/Angular run-status UI with live progress and history.
  • On-call engineer for CCS clusters โ€” mitigated high-severity alerts, performed live scaling and patching, and drove proactive fixes from alert-pattern analysis.
  • Reduced cross-AZ traffic costs in Helios EKS clusters via VPC flow-log analysis and topology-aware routing proposals.

Software Engineer ยท Netradyne Inc

Aug 2021 โ€“ Nov 2024

Bangalore, India

  • Led the Stitch/Multi-View video feature from scratch โ€” stitching annotated 9-camera-angle video from the IDMS SaaS portal (Java Spring, J2EE, Python, FFmpeg, PostgreSQL, Docker, Jenkins, AWS SQS/EC2) โ€” driving 10x more sales than competitors.
  • Subject Matter Expert for video data-loss and latency issues for Amazon NA/UK โ€” redesigned ingestion workflows, preventing 700+ lost alert videos/day and raising availability from 91% to 99%.
  • Engineered custom VTT subtitle generation across video players, reaching 100% annotated video coverage.
  • Led migration of IDMS services to Amazon EKS โ€” set up clusters, node groups, and YAML-based declarative deployments.
