I build the plumbing that keeps distributed systems talking — securely, at scale, across clouds.
I'm on the Hyperforce Runtime Platform (HRP) org at Salesforce, working on Sitebridge — the secure connectivity fabric that lets services reach the outside world (and each other) across Hyperforce. Think encrypted tunnels, DNS forwarding, and policy-driven egress running on the Falcon platform, spanning AWS and GCP substrates.
Day to day that means:
- Designing and operating Go services on Kubernetes, provisioned through Terraform and shipped via internal CI/CD (Falcon / SFCI).
- Multi-substrate networking — tunnels, DNS, service mesh, and zero-trust egress policy — with the reliability, observability, and change-management discipline that comes with running production infra for one of the largest SaaS platforms in the world.
- Triaging connectivity incidents end-to-end: from a customer-facing symptom down through mesh, DNS, and policy layers to root cause.
Scale, security, and multi-cloud correctness are the daily constraints — and the fun part.
Senior Engineer, Founding Team — Manifest IT (Sequoia-backed), Bengaluru · May 2024 – Mar 2025
Early engineer at a Sequoia-backed startup. Wore every hat backend needs — API design, data modeling, infra, and the 0→1 grind of standing up a product and a team from nothing.
Founding Engineer — Hillside Labs, Remote (USA) · Nov 2023 – Mar 2024
Built foundational backend and infrastructure for an early-stage product.
Senior SDE — Razorpay, Bengaluru · Sep 2020 – Oct 2023
Fintech at scale. Shipped and operated payments-grade backend systems where correctness, idempotency, and uptime are non-negotiable. Onboarded and mentored backend engineers as the team grew.
Languages — Go (primary), Python, SQL, a bit of everything backend needs
Infra & Orchestration — Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, Helm
Cloud — AWS, GCP (multi-substrate by day job)
Networking & Security — DNS, tunnels/VPN, service mesh, TLS/mTLS, zero-trust egress, policy engines
Data & Messaging — PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka / pub-sub
Practice — distributed systems, observability, incident response, CI/CD, infra-as-code
Cloud & platform infrastructure · secure connectivity & networking · fintech / payments · developer tooling · 0→1 product engineering
Distributed systems, cloud architecture, and the security side of multi-cloud networking.
Always happy to collaborate on open source across Web Dev, DevOps, Fintech, and ML.
