Automated Wipe Utility for Dual-Partition Linux Systems(2025) -

• Developed a production-grade CLI tool in Go to safely wipe disk metadata on dual-partition Linux systems, including LVM cleanup and GRUB validation.
• Designed with interface-driven architecture, supporting dry-run simulations, and full test coverage for safety and reliability.

Designed and developed production-grade REST APIs(2021-present) -

• Architected a scalable Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) system, enabling dynamic policy enforcement and reducing authorization overhead.
• Built a dynamic job-consumer orchestration layer to asynchronously manage long-running machine operations (e.g., deploy, release) between API and MAAS. Leveraged a threshold-based worker pool, real-time job tracking, and concurrency control to ensure non-blocking API behavior, and reliable state transitions.

Discovery Service (2024)-

• Led design and development of a centralized Discovery API, serving as the single source of truth for microservice resolution.
• Integrated real-time health checks and alerting with a dedicated microservice to proactively identify failures and reduce MTTR.
• Enabled load balancing, failover, and endpoint validation to improve resiliency and service observability across control planes.

Infrastructure Automation with Ansible (2023 – Present)

• Built a modular Ansible automation framework to deploy and manage internal services across distributed environments with minimal manual intervention.
• Authored dynamic playbooks for service configuration updates, binary deployments, database schema migrations, and custom validation logic.
• Integrated HashiCorp Vault to securely inject secrets at runtime, and automated MongoDB backup workflows with daily S3 uploads for improved disaster recovery.
• Implemented environment-specific overrides through dynamic inventories and templated configurations, enabling consistent and flexible deployments across staging and production setups.

System Agent – Integration Testing Automation (2022)

• Designed and implemented an automated integration testing framework in Go for a Linux-based system agent operating across partitioned environments, reducing manual testing effort from 1 day to 30 minutes through full CI/CD pipeline integration.

UI (2020–2022) -

• Led front-end development of a React-based internal platform for managing machine configurations and image deployments.
• Built reusable component libraries, custom hooks, and a unified API abstraction layer; integrated Redux for scalable state management, improving user experience and reducing direct backend dependency.
• Mentored junior engineers in React best practices and UI architecture, accelerating team onboarding and improving code quality.
