Software Developer - Block Storage

• Scaled OCI Block Storage availability across 60+ regions, leading substrate region-build efforts across 40+ regions and coordinating execution across teams in the US, Mexico, and India.
• Drove end-to-end execution of Block Storage region builds, coordinating first-mile activities, build-out goals, last-mile tasks, dependencies, and failures to ensure readiness for regional Go/No-Go milestones.
• Coordinated regional launches across 6+ dependent engineering teams, including encryption, bare-metal provisioning, substrate, identity/authentication, and database services, resolving blockers along the critical path.
• Identified a major scalability bottleneck where configuring 15 Block Storage applications required 70+ engineering hours per region; independently designed and implemented dynamic configuration automation over 2 months to eliminate the recurring manual effort.
• Established retrospectives across 14+ region builds, analyzing build time, issues faced, and recurring pain points to identify opportunities for improving subsequent launches.
• Surfaced ~40 bugs and improvement opportunities through region-build retrospectives, using recurring failure patterns to highlight issues for engineering investigation and prioritization.
• Addressed recurring region-build failure modes through long-term fixes covering ~30% of bug tickets across the last 14 regions, contributing to higher build success rates and reduced manual intervention.
• Analyzed customer, internal, and auto-cut reliability issues to identify recurring Block Storage pain points, synthesizing issue frequency and trends to inform engineering prioritization.
• Served as the first line of defense for 1,000+ service reliability issues across 100+ enterprise customers, resolving conflicts, aligning customer expectations, and coordinating engineering response toward timely resolution.
• Mentored 4+ engineers on region-build activities and standardized region-build documentation and runbooks, enabling more independent execution and improving onboarding for new team members.

Software Developer - File Storage

• Improved OCI File Storage performance by contributing to MDD, a caching capability addressing NFS operation latency; the capability reduced latency by ~75% in most cases.
• Contributed to MDD's development and validation, building testing infrastructure and a reusable wrapper that was later adopted by other projects, improving consistency and scalability of validation.
• Collaborated across the File Storage engineering team on MDD implementation and bug resolution, helping translate the design into a working caching capability.
• Presented the MDD design to the India engineering team, communicating the technical approach and supporting alignment during implementation.

• Awarded a $40,000 equity grant following an “Exceeds Expectations” FY25 performance rating

• BS(Computer Engineering), University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, USA

• Placement Cell Member, Product Management - Support PM placement preparation for IIMA PGPX students through CV vetting, mock interviews, product-case preparation
• Augmented Reality Intern, Health Care Engineering Systems Center - Built an AR electromyography training tool, gaining adoption from OSF Hospital's research team to improve medical training workflows
• Marketing Director, Women in Electrical and Computer Engineering - Led marketing and branding initiatives, organized campus events, and strengthened cross-departmental partnerships
• Silicon Valley Workshop, Technology Entrepreneur Center - One of 25 selected to learn startup fundamentals directly from leading tech CEOs
