Software Developer | Platform Engineer
about
As a Software Developer | Platform Engineer focused on reliability, automation, and infrastructure at scale. At Apollo Tyres R&D, I architected a high-performance backend managing 200+ concurrent simulation jobs, improving system throughput by 40% and reducing P95 latency by 35%.
My expertise spans cloud platforms (AWS, Azure), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and CI/CD pipelines. I build platforms and tools like KubeWise (an AI-driven Kubernetes SRE platform that cut MTTD by 60%), NLP2SQL (AI-powered database query engine), and enterprise simulation systems — each with measurable improvements in performance and reliability.
As a 3x Microsoft Certified, 5x Hackathon winner, and Microsoft Student Ambassador, I combine technical expertise with practical problem-solving. Currently pursuing B.Tech in Computer Science at SRM University.

oss contributions
· Added explicit CUDA architectures for Pascal GPU support in llama.cpp build — enabling GTX 10-series and Tesla P40 compatibility
· Fixed the constraint enforcer to skip completed tasks — cleaner scheduling for swarm clusters
· Excluded completed tasks from constraint accounting — prevents false capacity blocks in SwarmKit
· Enabled metamorphic defaults in optimizer tests — randomized coverage at scale
· Shipped docs, validation, and test hardening across 4 PRs — production polish
· Documented compaction behavior that may temporarily exceed retention.size limits
· Parallelized 50+ util/app tests with t.Parallel() — faster CI feedback loops
· Fixed UTF-8 charset serving for workspace text files — no more garbled output
