I am currently a Senior Software Engineer at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, developing high-performance RDMA library for distributed object storage systems.

My main interests include:

Software development (Backend systems, microservices, distributed systems, etc.)
Systems programming (Operating systems, networks, etc.)
Tools development (Debuggers, graphics, etc.)

My goal is to develop performant, easy-to-use tools that leverage the immense potential offered by modern hardware, making overall computing experience much smoother and bloat free for users and developers.

Other than programming, my hobbies include:

Sim Racing (mainly on iRacing)
Go-karting
Skiing

Experience

Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Software Engineer 2
Andover, Massachusetts | Jun 2024 - Present

Built NVGrid, a high-performance C++ RDMA library powering distributed object storage clusters, enabling east-west data transfer rates up to 400 Gb/s.
Developed observability tooling to capture FlameGraphs, switch packet drops, and network statistics; to help diagnose performance bottlenecks.
Tuned switch QoS policies, reduced lock contention and thread starvation, and balanced internode vs. disk I/O bandwidth, increasing cluster throughput from 128 Gb/s to 400 Gb/s.
Replaced VMware ESXi with HPE VM Essentials and SR-IOV, enabling deployment of RDMA-capable Kubernetes clusters for development and testing, saving $3,500 per host annually in licensing costs.
Developed a Producer–Consumer RDMA protocol to replace a Client–Server model, reducing internode operations per transaction from 4 to 3 and lowering latency by 5%.
Developed an error injection API over gRPC that injects faults directly into the RDMA device context (CQ, async event queue), allowing validation of error-handling paths rarely triggered under organic workloads.
Developed NAE scripts for Aruba CX 9300 switches to handle interface split and speed requirements, eliminating manual configuration and enabling factory units to support all HPE storage products.
Tech used: C/C++, IBVerbs, Boost, gRPC, Redis, Kubernetes, Docker, Grafana, Bazel, GoogleTest, Jenkins

Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Software Engineer Intern
Andover, Massachusetts | May 2023 - Dec 2023

Developed TCP channel for non-RDMA NICs, and Shared Memory channel for services on the same node
Engineered Connection Manager library for establishing channel connections between nodes; used gRPC service framework and Redis for service look-up; and Boost state machine for connection orchestration
Architected Telemetry library to monitor the health and performance metrics of NVGrid components and integrated it with Grafana for visualization
Tech used: C/C++, IBVerbs, Boost, gRPC, Redis, Kubernetes, Docker, Grafana, Bazel, GoogleTest, Jenkins

Northeastern University

Research Assistant
Boston, Massachusetts | Jan 2023 - May 2023

Provided SME support for Discovery Cluster on topics ranging from Linux, Slurm, Docker, MPI, Cuda, and Distributed ML Training
Orchestrated concourse pipelines to build and deploy containers of docker and Singularity
Collaborated with researchers to construct and launch large ML models on multi-GPU clusters, leveraging PyTorch and TensorFlow

Barclays

Software Developer
Pune, India | Jul 2019 - Jul 2022

● Barclays Mobile Banking APIs
○ Designed and developed an ecosystem of APIs for setting up repayment plans for delinquent accounts.
○ Gained 5x improvement in API response times by making downstream API calls asynchronous and parallel.
○ Implemented a performance logging and monitoring library to track performance of these APIs.
● Customer Outcome Testing Application
○ Gathered requirements from bank agents to understand how they manually reviewed collection cases.
○ Developed a backend API and database components to digitize the manual case review process.
○ Closely worked with bank agents to build UI and iterate over the application flow.
○ Key Achievements: Reduced manual effort for case reviews by 232 hours/week (5.8 FTEs).
● AWS Microservices and Cloud Infrastructure Automation
○ Developed microservices to create collection cases for delinquent accounts received via Apache Kafka events.
○ Created CloudFormation templates to deploy auto-scaling ECS clusters, MSK clusters, RDS, and EC2 machines on the AWS cloud platform.
○ Implemented AWS Lambdas for rotating credentials and replicating EBS volumes to backup data.
○ Developed features for APIs to automatically fetch the latest credentials from AWS Secret Manager.
○ Key Achievements: Single-click infra provisioning; Reduced server costs by demand-based cluster scaling.

Accelo Innovations

Computer Vision Developer
Mumbai, India | Aug 2017 - Oct 2017

Developed depth mapping module (using stereo-vision) in Python and C using a two camera setup.
Integrated Tensorflow’s object detection with the depth mapping module to identify objects and calculate their distance from the vehicle.

Truckerrs

Frontend Developer
Mumbai, India | May 2016 - Jun 2016

Designed the UI/UX for the website.
Implemented the front-end of the booking system and integrated it with the back-end API.
Used Google Maps API for features such as tracing the path of the vehicle on map.

TapTheTech

Flash Animator
Mumbai, India | Mar 2013 - Jan 2014

TapTheTech was a group of students who believed MOOCs are the future of education. It went on to become one of the official learning hubs on Coursera
I was one of the core team members and created content, animations for the educational videos on the YouTube channel; helped organize events in schools to spread awareness about MOOCs
