• Led company-wide secure data gateway initiative to secure wide variety (MySQL, PostgreSQL, CockroachDB, Elasticsearch) of 500+ data stores using Netflix specific custom authentication and authorization at layer 4. Collaborated with InfoSec org and multiple application development teams across company to rollout secure data access program successfully.

• Built high level distributed data abstractions like key-value, time series and global counters on top of Envoy, Cassandra, CockroachDB and Memcached for enabling higher platform leverage and developer velocity. Evangelized these abstractions within company, trained many developers in their use while providing ongoing support, cultivating long term relationships with users. These data abstractions are now widely adopted within Netflix as de-facto data solutions with 350+ clusters deployed.

• Designed global data positioning system to scale replication of petabytes of Netflix data beyond its current 3 AWS regions. Helped create shared vision for the new global data platform across traffic, networking, data and application teams.

• Architect for financial accounting system used by Netflix to report its 10-Q / 10-K numbers to SEC.

• Drove early adoption of GraphQL and common federated data graph across whole Netflix Studio org by leading by example.

• Hired and mentored new engineers.

• Lead design, development and roll out of Zuul - Netflix's open source async load balancer + API gateway that handles 4M+ RPS.

• Sensed unaddressed need for low latency server to client push channel in Netflix's application networking stack. Championed a vision for server push based solution within company. Built push notification server that handles 100M+ concurrent, persistent WebSocket connections from Netflix devices in field.

• Negotiated with device and security teams across company to incorporate Zuul push support in Netflix client SDKs which we were able to leverage later to build things like Netflix/Alexa integration.

• Collaborated with data warehouse org to build network congestion model to efficiently analyze congestion across all internet CIDR blocks using custom radix tree data structure implementation.

• Optimized CDN steering algorithm for OpenConnect - Netflix's CDN that handles 1/3 of all North American internet traffic during peak hours.

• Built distributed, fault tolerant job running service to run Open Connect's mission critical, time sensitive jobs reliably.
