I enjoy working on products, infrastructure which drive customer value. My current interests are in the areas of designing and developing Large Scale Distributed Systems using Microservice Architecture. I’m also passionate about the challenges around scalability, reliability, performance, throughput and latency while developing such internet scale infrastructure and applications.

In the recent past, I have mentored new-hires, college grads, and, high school students in the field of Computer Science and Technology.
