About
CS undergraduate at BITS Pilani (CGPA 8.9/10) with 35+ merged PRs across CNCF and cloud-native ecosystems: 13 merged PRs in kubernetes/kubernetes, 9 merged PRs in Kubeflow, 3 merged PRs in Argo CD, and 5 merged PRs in CNCF kubernetes-sigs/kro including feature design-and-implementation (KREP-10). Experienced in distributed systems, controller-runtime reconciliation logic, and production Go/Rust backend services. Explore my projects.

I enjoy building projects with a product mindset. Here are a few of myfavorites.
Architected a full-stack trading platform supporting 10+ asset classes with real-time WebSocket feeds, achieving sub-200ms order execution latency across 500+ daily transactions. Spearheaded a responsive multi-chart dashboard handling 5+ simultaneous live chart instances with full MT5-terminal feature parity.
High-performance cross-platform system monitor written in Rust. Groups processes into app bundles (30+ workloads like Docker, Ollama, IDEs) with interactive nested treemaps (RAM, CPU, disk I/O), memory pressure anomaly detection, and zero-network privacy.
13 merged PRs in core Kubernetes across SIG Node, SIG Scheduling, SIG Auth, and SIG Architecture, fixing client-go races, serving certificates, apiserver storage, and validation.
Implemented Kubelet serving certificate algorithm selection supporting modern cryptographic standards.
Allowed callers to configure key algorithms for self-signed certificate generation in client-go.
Fixed a concurrent data race in client-go reflector state, improving stability across high-throughput informer watches.
Configured kubelet to honor serverCertificateKeyAlgorithm during self-signed serving cert generation, enabling modern key algorithms (ECDSA-P256, RSA, ML-DSA).
Resolved an edge-case deduplication state bug in ServiceAccount storage representation in kube-apiserver.
Refactored PodSpec validation logic to modern declarative CEL validation schemas in apiserver.
3 merged PRs in Argo CD GitOps controller, apiserver health endpoints, and config-management plugins.
Enabled standard unauthenticated gRPC health probe check on Argo CD server endpoints.
Corrected health assessment evaluation logic for inactive Crossplane ManagedResourceDefinitions.
Fixed non-deterministic race conditions and timing assertions in CMP plugin server tests.
9 merged PRs across Kubeflow Hub and MCP server: OCI layer packaging, backend error handling, and event pipelines.
Isolated base image layers during async OCI packaging to prevent image layer bloat and pollution.
Enhanced Python SDK exception handling for non-zero process errors in OCI backend operations.
Fixed JWT payload parsing by properly implementing RFC 7515 base64url decoding.
Ensured proper temporal ordering when limiting training event output in Kubeflow MCP server.
CNCF Kubernetes SIG project — Kube Resource Orchestrator. 5 merged PRs including end-to-end design and implementation of KREP-10.
Added scope field (Namespaced|Cluster) to ResourceGraphDefinition.spec.schema, enabling cluster-scoped instance CRDs with full controller reconciliation.
Authored KREP design document for cluster-scoped instance CRD support, accepted after review by core maintainers.
Implemented early fail-fast validation for CRD group/version/kind declarations during synthesis.
Early-stage AI infrastructure startup. Cold-reached team and shipped 2 merged PRs within days of first contact.
Audited codebase, identified dead broker-client code with hardcoded stubs, and executed cleanup.
Built comprehensive e2e test suite validating provider integration pipelines under real workload conditions.
Rust and Go cloud/security ecosystems. 4 merged PRs across kube-rs, Hyperledger Fabric-CA, and Hyperledger Identus.
Added no_spec derive attribute for CustomResourceDefinition synthesis in Rust.
Fixed command detection when global flags precede subcommands in CLI invocation.
