Tech Lead for Tekton, an open-source Kubernetes-native CI/CD framework with built-in supply chain security (SLSA provenance, image signing). One of top 5 contributors to the project, elected to the project's governing board.
Designed, and helped build and maintain several of Tekton's core systems: Triggers (event-driven pipeline automation), Interceptors (extensible webhook processing), conditional execution , remote resolution (fetching pipeline configs from external source), API Conformance, Results (off-cluster execution storage via gRPC + Kubernetes RBAC). For internal use cases, built custom workload scheduling, gVisor-based container isolation, and secure multi-tenant pipeline execution.
Maintainer on both Tekton and Spinnaker (open-source multi-cloud CD). On Spinnaker, added Borg deployment support, built stronger authz, and created a modular build system that cut the dependency footprint by 60%+.
Led a 10-person engineering team: OKRs, roadmaps, project scoping, and onboarding new contributors through to becoming project maintainers.
Earlier at Google: designed and migrated 120+ engineers to new source control, CI/CD, and release tooling meeting ISO 27001 standards (won a Google Feats of Engineering Award). Served on primary on-call for a multi-region API Gateway handling tens of thousands of QPS at 99.99% SLA.

Built backend features for Apigee's Java based API proxy and Node.js based API health monitoring products.
Developed API driven tools, frameworks, and services for injecting faults, simulating network failures, collecting and storing testing data and a rule engine for evaluating the quality of a release.
Mentored two interns in creating a novel way for API rate limiting using proof of work algorithms.
