Work Experience

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT ENGINEER - II

RUBRIK

Dec 2025 - Present

Working on E2E recovery to allow one-click restore functionality for enterprise Postgres databases. Decreased PostgreSQL WAL log backup times from 10 hours to 5 minutes by decoupling backup and archival processes and implementing parallel ingestion, ensuring concurrency and consistency via shell scripting.

MEMBER OF TECHNICAL STAFF - II

NUTANIX

Dec 2025 - Present

Led the redesign of metadata store replacing Cassandra with RocksDB and scaling support for deep storage with read-heavy workflows from 100 physical nodes to more than 300 nodes. Optimized the iSCSI target digest computation process by introducing a shared locking mechanism resulting in a remarkable decrease in login times and scaling simultaneous logins from 128 targets to 2000+ targets. Pioneered the implementation of a robust network interface hosting mechanism on multiple nodes, providing multi-path IO services to clients, dramatically reducing iSCSI reconnection latencies from 15s to under 1s. Won Nutanix hackathon 2023 for innovating a snapshot chain management solution over S3, reducing the primary cluster storage requirement to 1/10th saving crucial space for other metadata operations.
