I architect fault-tolerant systems that scale across regions—from consensus protocols to geo-distributed platforms to real-time event streaming. My work is grounded in the belief that technology should serve humanity, and that engineering excellence is an expression of purpose.
Full-Stack Development → Backend Systems → DevOps/Infrastructure → Distributed Systems Engineering (next: MS in Distributed Systems)
Each step taught me a different layer. Now I see the full picture: from user interaction → backend logic → infrastructure → distributed coordination → consensus. My strength lies in architecting systems that handle failures gracefully and work seamlessly across continents.
- Core Languages: Go, Rust, Python — Building systems that scale and never stop
- Distributed Systems: Raft consensus, leader election, replication, partitioning, CAP theorem
- Infrastructure & Cloud: Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, AWS, GCP — Multi-region orchestration
- Data & Messaging:Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis Cluster, PostgreSQL — Event-driven architectures
- DevOps Excellence: Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, Observability, Security-first design
Geo-Distributed Platform with Intelligent Routing & Consensus
- Multi-region architecture with <100ms P99 latency across 5+ AWS/GCP regions
- Raft consensus implementation for leader election and state synchronization
- Intelligent routing algorithm balancing latency, cost, and availability
- Automatic failover with <3s recovery time
- Stack: Go, Rust, Kubernetes, gRPC, Raft, Terraform

Distributed Code Review Platform with Real-Time Collaboration
- CRDT-based collaborative editing for conflict-free concurrent reviews
- Async message processing with RabbitMQ (exactly-once semantics)
- Distributed caching with Redis Cluster (80% latency reduction)
- Event sourcing for audit trails and time-travel debugging
- Processing 1K+ reviews/day with high availability
- Stack: Python, Go, TypeScript, React, PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ

"I believe good engineering is an act of service. Build systems that handle failures gracefully, scale responsibly, maintain consistency across regions, and solve real problems."
The future belongs to engineers who understand distributed systems — creating infrastructure that not only runs at scale but also runs reliably, consistently, and with strong guarantees even when things fail.
- MIT 6.824 Distributed Systems course (implementing Raft, distributed KV stores)
- Reading foundational papers: Raft, Paxos, Spanner, Dynamo, Bigtable
- Systems programming with Rust for performance-critical distributed systems
- Implementing consensus protocols from scratch
- Exploring CAP theorem implications and consistency trade-offs
Passionate about solving the hardest problems in distributed systems. Always excited to collaborate on systems that push the boundaries of reliability, consistency, and global scale.
