I'm a software engineer, and I started out at VMware building infrastructure that powered large-scale systems for telecom and enterprise players, the kind of systems that have to work quietly, all the time. Later, at BlueFunda, I found myself building across the ecosystem growing around LLMs, from MCP to agent harnesses, right as it was taking shape. That's what pulled me toward AI infra, watching how fast this space moves made it obvious how much it needed someone paying attention to the foundations. I like solving things out loud, usually with someone else at a whiteboard, and on the side I tinker on developer tools and utilities I wish existed.
/ What I Build
Systems to handle scale, failure, and everything in between
Bringing the rigorous architecture of enterprise control planes to the chaotic data demands of LLM orchestration and agentic state management.
Distributed Systems
High-performance control planes and distributed state management. Engineered to maintain strict consistency, low latency, and operational predictability across massive, multi-tenant network clusters.
AI Infrastructure
Provider-agnostic routing engines, decoupled RAG architectures, and high-throughput LLM gateways. Built to abstract model providers, handle failures gracefully, and optimize cost and performance at the network layer.
Agentic Runtimes
ReAct-style tool execution loops, MCP layers, sandboxes, and automation schedulers - the plumbing that lets agents do real work reliably.
/ Experience
4 years of systems.
BlueFunda
Software Engineer · Los Angeles, CA, USA · Feb 2025 – Present
Architected the foundational infrastructure for a high-throughput AI gateway and execution platform. Designed and implemented custom LLM routing engines, decoupled RAG pipeline architectures, and multi-turn agentic runtimes. Built entirely provider-agnostic and horizontally scalable from day one, enabling seamless, zero-overhead integration of external vector databases, model providers, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
VMware (Broadcom)
Member of Technical Staff · Bangalore, India · Jan 2022 – Nov 2024
Engineered core components within the distributed control plane of NSX Advanced Load Balancer. Spearheaded a complete redesign of the State Cache Manager concurrency model, built multi-region configuration versioning for Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB), and optimized the platform's distributed Resource Manager to surface highly responsive, real-time telemetry across the cluster architecture.
/ Build Log
Current systems in the workshop.
Things I build to understand systems better or because the right tool didn't exist yet.
Go daemon that scans and tracks ATS directly, filters jobs against a target profile using an LLM, and delivers Slack alerts the moment matching roles go live.
Per-ATS goroutine scheduling, SQLite dedup, exponential backoff, TUI audit browser. Deployed on a personal VPS.
/ Writing
Writing from the edge of the work.
Notes on backend systems and the non-obvious details behind reliable engineering.
