Career

From IIIT Hyderabad to SAP Labs — building Kubernetes infrastructure at scale.

Experience

Jul 2023 — Present

Software Engineer

SAP Labs — Project Gardener (K8s PaaS)
Bengaluru, India
  • Architected a critical, quorum-preserving pod update mechanism for etcd clusters — designed and implemented controller-driven pod lifecycle management to prevent artificial quorum loss, ensuring high-availability during updates
  • Developed the Druidctl CLI framework (Go + Cobra) as a kubectl plugin, simplifying etcd-druid cluster management, reducing manual operational overhead and improving developer productivity
  • Boosted Kubernetes cluster restoration success rate from 30% to over 95% by engineering a robust backup compaction mechanism, ensuring reliable recovery from system-wide failures
  • Designed and implemented end-to-end tests for etcd-backup-restore by integrating cloud provider emulators (AWS, GCP, Azure) — significantly reduced infrastructure costs while maintaining comprehensive multi-cloud test coverage
  • Enhanced Helm deployment pipelines for etcd-druid with multi-node HA bootstrapping. Integrated comprehensive Prometheus metrics and Grafana dashboards for real-time cluster observability at scale

Software Engineer Intern

Samsung R&D Institute India
Bengaluru, India
  • Engineered a Python-based tool to automate the analysis of communication errors between SIM cards and mobile handsets, significantly speeding up root cause analysis
  • Implemented a priority scheduling algorithm to manage and process log decoding tasks based on file age and custom priority, optimizing system resources
  • Designed and built a modular, scalable parser to decode complex hexadecimal error logs, enabling robust and maintainable fault detection
