With over 15 years of experience in building working software systems, I am a passionate and versatile engineer who thrives on solving hard and challenging problems. I have taken different roles over time and contributed in all ways to get the company and product moving forward. I worked with Kognitos (a valley start-up focusing on Generative AI for automation) to help build a natural language interpreter allowing humans to build automations and manage exceptions all in intuitive English. The entire SaaS platform was built on AWS using Serverless technologies. I was part of the core engineering team. Before that, I was a software architect at Nutanix, where I built a domain specific language (DSL) for writing automation plans and worked on the Nutanix Control Plane Design for all Nutanix Services. I also filed two patents related to app recovery points for disaster recovery and user specific app store implementation. I started my journey with Nutanix after they acquired calm.io, a cloud automation startup where I was the chief architect and the head of engineering. I have used C/Python/GoLang as programming languages to build large scale, distributed, highly-available and fault-tolerant systems. I have also published multiple papers and patents. I am always interested to learn new things, model and design elegant systems/products that serve a purpose and work with interesting people.

Job Title : Chief Architect | Head of Engineering
Company name : calm.io [Acquired by Nutanix]
Period : September 2012 - August 2016
Summary : The goal at calm.io (Cloud Application Lifecycle Management) was to build the next generation platform to help enterprises model applications on both public and private cloud (hybrid cloud); encapsulate the application architecture and lifecycle activities as code; provide self-service and governance policies. To achieve this goal, I worked closely with product, engineering and operations teams to design the product platform (data-model, policy-engine, orchestration-engine, cloud-plugins, etc). Also, played the role of a technical product engineer and got familiar with various technologies like AWS, GCP, Azure, OpenStack, vCenter, Nutanix, Salt, Puppet, Chef, Docker, Kubernetes, etc. In addition, interacted with customers to get their first hand feedback, understood their pain points and enhanced the product to solve it.
After Calm.io got Series A funding from Sequoia Capital, I got an opportunity to build a team and hire some great talent. Worked closely with developers/hackers and got good quality releases out in time. Learnt how to work with team members that are passionate about tech. and also be nimble in execution. Used great tools like Phabricator (for Code Reviews), Jenkins (for CI/CD), YouTrack (for Agile/BugDB), FlowDock (for team chat) to get a good dev. process going. Managed a team of 15-20 passionate engineers.
