My expertise lies in backend development, system architecture, and performance optimization, particularly in data analytics and search execution systems. In my current role, I architect and lead the development of a search orchestration service, ensuring scalability, efficiency, and integration within Splunk’s data analytics platform. I have successfully optimized cloud infrastructure, achieving cost reductions of $3.6M annually, and led the development of multi-tenant connection pools, scalable REST services, and streaming data processing solutions. Previously, I worked at PayPal and L&T Infotech, where I contributed to large-scale data migrations, performance optimization, and backend system design across fintech, engineering & construction, and manufacturing domains.
