[email protected]Experience
Nutanix
Jul 2022 — Oct 2025
- Refactored the load-balancer controller, reducing CPU and memory usage by 90%.
- Helped consolidate multiple Envoy reverse proxies into one; designed, implemented, and benchmarked a zero-downtime migration strategy for existing clusters.
- Automated provisioning and repair for compute nodes with failed boot disks, from bare metal to Kubernetes, reclaiming capacity for continuous integration workloads.
- Created a FUSE filesystem for the in-house key-value database.
- Built tooling to backfill 2–10 GB log bundles into Loki and convert system statistics to OpenMetrics for timeline correlation.
- Discovered a zero-day vulnerability through binary forensics in application code that could lead to full system compromise.
Zamp.ai
Dec 2025 — Jun 2026
- Worked on a Temporal-driven agent harness and an end-to-end voice agent integrated with long-running workflows.
- Built hot-swappable transport abstractions around LiveKit, with asynchronous delegation and notifications coordinated through Redis pub/sub.
- Helped consolidate observability around an OpenTelemetry collector; taught metrics and flamegraph analysis and mentored junior engineers.
Sarvam
Nov 2025 — Dec 2025
- Set up application and infrastructure observability with Loguru, OpenTelemetry, and SigNoz; contributed to an internal Terraform plugin for harness workflows.
- Accelerated Python monorepo development rebuilds by using Bazel test caching for Docker image loads.
Nutanix
Jan 2021 — Jul 2021
- Built backup and restoration flows that reduced recovery from hours to minutes; implemented key cleanup and certificate trust-chain restoration after recovery onto a new host.
Projects
devd
MicroVM development workspaces powered by libkrun. Each workspace runs its own Linux kernel through Hypervisor.framework, with live workspace switching and transparent port routing.
constellation
Automated provisioning, imaging, and health monitoring over IPMI for datacenter nodes with failed boot drives. REST API and command-line interface for fleet management.
logninja
An interactive terminal interface for narrowing down massive log bundles with real-time regex filtering, live size estimates, and targeted export.
cert-inspector
A command-line tool for inspecting and visualizing X.509 certificates across a filesystem, including trust-chain analysis.
