I am a Senior Principal Software Engineer and Architect at Palo Alto Networks with over 14 years of experience driving innovation in cybersecurity and cloud networking. My expertise includes designing and building secure, scalable distributed systems, accelerating content delivery, and ensuring secure access for unmanaged users to private applications. I am skilled in back-end development using Go, Python, and C++, and I’m proficient in cloud technologies, containerization, and microservices architecture. 

 

As a founding engineer at Zycada, I developed 0-1 solutions, optimized content delivery for large-scale networks, and built a secure Anycast network infrastructure with a 99.999% SLA. My automation-first approach helps organizations increase product velocity and improve end-user experiences. 

 

I have extensive experience with AWS, GCP, and Azure, Kubernetes, microservices, time-series databases like InfluxDB and Elasticsearch, and monitoring tools such as Prometheus and Grafana. My past roles at Fujitsu, Huawei, and Polycom involved developing scalable solutions for OTN, VoIP, and video conferencing systems. I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Dallas and a B.Tech in Information Technology from PSG College of Technology in India.
