Software engineer specializing in backend and infrastructure. I've built microservices for Uber's routing stack, dove into database internals at Apple and Cockroach Labs, and most recently helped build infrastructure for large data processing framework at Google.

Building Google scale infrastructure for stream-based data processing. The framework provides infra-level features necessary for running a data pipeline in production such as event batching, error retrial, and scheduling of work units.

Stack: C++

2020 — 2022

Built a Cassandra orchestration service in Java which facilitated the rollout of a major DB version upgrade; the service automates cluster operations needed to carry out tests for data loss and performance regressions in large scale clusters.

Stack: Java, Kubernetes, Cassandra

2020 — 2020Cockroach LabsSoftware Engineer Intern (Distributed KV)

2020 — 2020

Improved performance of the storage engine by eliminating wasteful disk writes and implementing lazy file creation during the Raft snapshotting process in Go

Increased compatibility of Cockroach DB with PostgreSQL by adding support for missing system catalogs

Created a web app to demo Cockroach without requiring a local download

2019 — 2019UberSoftware Engineering Intern (Maps Routing)

2019 — 2019

Redesigned the Routing config architecture to make it possible to infer the city of a routing request from its GPS coordinates and thus apply a per-city configured Routing stack to each request

Enabled switchback experiments to run in parallel across different cities which unblocked several teams’ iteration cycles and increased the overall Routing experimentation throughput by 20x

Created a city-id lookup service in Java to serve over 200k requests per second
