I am a distinguished Staff Software Engineer and technical leader making significant contributions to cybersecurity, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise software development.

At Stairwell Inc., I lead critical initiatives in cybersecurity infrastructure, architecting systems that process and analyze hundreds of terabytes of data to protect organizations from emerging threats. My work includes developing scalable search infrastructure handling hundreds of queries per second, implementing advanced ML-based file similarity techniques for malware detection, designing authorization infrastructure, and automated malware analysis infrastructure. Additionally, I have been extensively involved in mentorship and hiring.

Prior to Stairwell, at Rubrik Inc., I was instrumental in developing enterprise-grade database protection solutions, serving over 350 customers and protecting more than 27 petabytes of data. My contributions to database backup and recovery technology are recognized through multiple U.S. patents, demonstrating my role in advancing the field of data protection and security.

My academic background includes degrees from Carnegie Mellon University (M.S. in Computer Science) and BITS Pilani (dual degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics), providing a strong theoretical foundation that complements my practical experience. My research contributions include innovative work in visual odometry, collaborative topic modeling, and high-performance computing, winning recognition in CMU’s Annual Parallelism Competition.

As a thought leader in the technology sector, I share my expertise through technical blogs and talks, particularly in the areas of multi-tenant systems and cybersecurity infrastructure, demonstrating my commitment to knowledge sharing within the technical community.

My technical expertise spans crucial areas of modern computing, including distributed systems, machine learning infrastructure, and cybersecurity. I have consistently demonstrated leadership in building and scaling complex systems, as evidenced by my roles at high-growth San Francisco Bay Area startups. Throughout my career, my unique ability to bridge complex technical challenges with practical business solutions has helped advance the state of digital technology while also directly impacting the security and reliability of digital systems used by organizations worldwide.
