• AI Code Review - Built Bob the Fixer (BTF), an AI code review service; the novel bet was feeding output from existing static & dynamic analysis tools to the LLM as context rather than relying on the model alone. Ran across ~728 repos, grew an internal community of 360+ engineers, and presented to 500+ engineers in an internal demo.
• Code Migrations - Extended the platform to auto-generate PRs for teams' Java upgrades, then broadening to more common migration types; migrated 118 repos. Tools - java, python, llms, kubernetes.

• Stories - setup & patch upstream operator, sidecar debugging, control-plane, observability.
• Tools - go, python, java, apache flink, iceberg, kafka, kubernetes ecosystem, karmada, kyverno.

• Stories - Extracting patient data. Set up a platform to help paramedics triage incoming patient calls. SOC2. Engagement / growth engineering. Set up CRM for sales.
• Tools - python, go, aws data stack, tableau, Athena (EHR).

• Stories - push notifications on the transfer of an ERC20/721/1155 token, wallet balance extraction from raw logs, extracting token mints
• Decisions - Kafka for streaming-etl of raw data and features, airflow for batch-etl and backfill of raw data, terraform for IAC, python, rust for kafka consumers, openshift for multi-cloud support, kubernetes.

• VM Control Path & Edge - Worked with teams that deal with these problems a) VM Control Path (Azure Compute) b) Secret rotation on edge device c) Identity validation and translation (Edge Proxy). Tools - PowerShell, c#, service fabric, threat models, certificates.
• Security & Operations - Maintaining internal certificate authority. Threat model reviews. Performance engineering. Owned a 1-month release for a partner team to help improve their operations.

• ML Inference & Training - Wrote initial design and flow for operating kubeflow in the cloud to train models, helped scale the team from 2 to 5 engineers. Technical Challenges: Continuous experimentation on the problem space, supporting elasticity in training.
• Performance Engineering - Improved performance on model training by average 6x (and 16x on a particular voxelnet model). Tools - kubeflow, go, python, py-spy, k8, google cloud, pytorch, kserve.

• WebSocket APIs - Release Blog. Technical Challenges: Reusing the existing non-sticky DataPlane to serve requests while introducing a sticky WebSocket protocol. Performance engineering for the number of TLS connections per host. Tools - java, netty, alb, CloudFront.
• Distributed Tracing - Release Blog. Technical Challenges: Introducing new processes in the existing hosts without impacting operations. Tools - cgroups, java.
• Performance & Reliability - http1.1's head-of-the-line problem. Move state objects from on-heap to Java off-heap. Wrote a flow for shuffle sharding load balancers. Wrote a framework to safely rotate a lot(~700k) of secrets with limited manual intervention.
• Jury - Wrote a platform to detect disputes in transportation vendor bills (Transportation Payments Service).

• Reverse Similarity Search - We reverse the role of data and query in search space. Given vast incoming social-media data we search on them with complex lucene queries in-memory in real-time. Tools - flaxsearch, kafka, lucene memory index, java, redis pub-sub.
• Operations & Performance - Operating kafka, elasticsearch, mongoDB, zookeeper. jvm/gc tuning. Fixing JDK bugs, performance engineering, and optimizing graph search problems, implementing tokenizers.
