Over two decades, I've evolved from hands-on software engineer to technical leader and mentor, spanning the full technology stack—from programming Broadcom ASIC chips for data center infrastructure to architecting cloud-native services and integrating LLMs into workflows.

Experience

Juniper NetworksPrincipal Engineer

2023 — Now

Santa Clara, CA

Developing AI agents using MCP protocol to autonomously troubleshoot anomalies detected by the analytics system monitoring the network fabric.

Built a Broadcom ASIC introspection tool to streamline the triaging of packet forwarding rules. This tool supports QFX switches with TD4, TH4, and TH5 ASICs, and consolidates nearly 1,000 non-SQL-style relational tables into a unified, single-pane-of-glass interface for efficient debugging and troubleshooting.

Accelerated build workflows by designing a scalable and reliable Bazel remote cache, reducing build times from over an hour to just 10 minutes.

VMwareStaff Engineer - II

2018 — 2023

Palo Alto, CA

Co-led company-wide hybrid cloud initiative, driving technical and organizational alignment across engineering, product, and platform teams to unify three disparate solutions into a cohesive API platform leveraging Kubernetes CRDs and the desired state pattern.

Drove cross-organizational alignment between engineering, compliance, and business teams to implement and operationalize FIPS 140 compliance for the VCF product, enabling secure deployments in regulated markets and supporting strategic business expansion.

Led cross-geo build optimization initiative impacting 150+ engineers across multiple teams, driving technical alignment to design a runtime-aligned code layout that enabled parallel builds and reduced build time by 67% (from 60 to 20 minutes) while eliminating technical debt.

Owned platform-wide modernization initiatives including JDK upgrades, third-party library updates, and VM appliance consolidation, ensuring security, stability, and operational efficiency across major product releases.

Simplified the customer upgrade process by merging JDK and appliance consolidation initiatives—balancing the short-term engineering cost of coordinated releases against long-term customer experience gains and reduced operational complexity.

VMwareStaff Engineer - I

2014 — 2018

Aligned engineering and operations teams to design a hub-and-spoke architecture for cloud-native MDM ancillary services, implementing and operationalizing microservices (ESR, AppScan, Apple App Metadata) supporting 2-3 million devices at scale.

Architected a CD framework with generalized microservice templates that onboarded 10+ teams across the organization, providing a self-service platform to bootstrap and manage full lifecycle deployments in AWS with improved speed and reliability.

Led development and drove cross-team alignment to implement CI automation for the core AirWatch monolith MDM product, integrating automated testing into daily workflows for 200+ developers across global teams.

Designed and operationalized an end-user application catalog using a DevOps model, streamlining app discovery and deployment for enterprise users.

Implemented multi-tenant cloud-native architecture with tenant isolation and instrumented services with AppDynamics for distributed tracing, metrics collection, and real-time observability across the platform.

AirWatchSoftware Engineer

2013 — 2014

Led the design, implementation, and operationalization of scalable, stateless file streaming services to support MDM use cases in a fast-paced startup environment.
