> WHOAMI
I am a Software Engineer specializing in designing resilient, cloud-native infrastructure and backend systems. Currently, I'm part of the Devices & Services Software (DSS) organization at Google. My team focuses on "Keeping the Business Running" by building the underlying infrastructure that manages the entire lifecycle of Google's hardware products.
Prior to Google, I spent over two years at Palo Alto Networks engineering cloud-native security features and building billing infrastructure that processed $130M+ in bookings for Fortune 500 customers.
Outside the code editor, I'm an avid memory collector always looking to explore hidden city gems, try out random new hobbies, and chase the next great cup of coffee just for the plot.
Currently based in Gurgaon, India.
