I’m a Software Engineer at Microsoft (SWE II) with 5+ years of experience building distributed systems that scale Azure’s global edge network. I work on the Hyperscale Networking team, where I design and maintain automation that powers Azure Peering—enabling customers to seamlessly establish 1 hop network connectivity with Microsoft.

I combine strong software engineering fundamentals with deep networking knowledge to build scalable, resilient systems. My tech stack includes C#, .NET, Kubernetes, Vue, Python, and Microsoft’s Semantic Kernel.

My work spans both internal infrastructure and tools as well as customer-facing services. I manage and evolve tools that catalog, update, and repair over 50,000+ external peerings across Azure’s edge network. I also focus on improving software quality and reliability, having increased unit test coverage by 20% on key services and developed an integrated simulation framework for end-to-end validation used across multiple teams.
