I am an accomplished professional with 10+ years of experience in software engineering infrastructure. I currently work for Microsoft Azure Cloud Shell service, where I deal with complex backend migrations, servicing a highly available infrastructure and solving interesting contextual security problems. My strength is perseverance and consistency that has helped me execute long haul engineering projects to completion. I believe in data driven approaches to demonstrate a before and after story. I have a Masters Degree in Computer Science from University of Southern California Viterbi School which helped me augment my expertise with data science oriented concepts and high scale systems. It also helped me broaden my exposure to people and disciplines other than tech.

In my free time, I am into reading, drawing toons/painting and enjoying the comic or graphic novel art form.

From Unsustainable to Efficient: Runtime Package Layering Breaks the Container Bloat Cycle

Managed services face unsustainable container bloat: images balloon to multi-GB artifacts with growth. Traditional "shift-left" approaches force an impossible tradeoff: bloated monolithic images or fragmented specialized images. Runtime package layering resolves this: containers provide isolation and security while remaining small; Flox environments deliver tool freshness without compromising security. This separation achieves stability through pinned packages and freshness through Nix/Flox.
