• Co-authored and defended the ZPR (Zero Trust Packet Routing) Deny architectural design before principal/staff network architects, then productionized explicit-deny enforcement that strengthens customers’ security posture through finer-grained, least-privilege traffic controls; processes 100K+ evaluations/s globally with a one-minute regional peak of 158K evaluations/s.
• Designed and implemented a distributed heartbeat-based health-check system for packet routing that improves availability by preventing prolonged traffic blackholing; sequence-validated probes detect peer failures within ~6–8s and reroute 1T+ packets/month (~390K/sec) to healthy paths.
• Optimized the health-check system’s dataplane probe communication using a compact binary wire format and direct packet-buffer serialization, reducing packet overhead by ~23%.
• Reduced operational remediation effort by ~78% by developing AI-assisted automation workflows and runbook tooling for Sev-1/Sev-2 incidents, later productized into a reusable operational AI agent skill adopted across the engineering organization.
• Owned customer-facing metrics instrumentation for ZPR Deny, driving cross-timezone coordination with 2 US teams to secure approvals for UI/UX integration, metric whitelisting, publishing, and Grafana dashboarding.
• Mentored an intern and a new-hire engineer on team infrastructure, codebase architecture, and CI/CD pipelines; guided the intern’s test automation initiative, reducing manual testing effort by ~73% (~10 hrs per release), now adopted as part of the team’s standard test suite.

• Worked on an open-source large language model called GPT4All-J.
• Optimized the LLM’s inference speed using Triton Inference Server with the FasterTransformer backend.
• Containerized and automated the build process using Docker scripts.
• Reduced inference time from 37 seconds to 1.7 seconds with no additional cost, increasing speed by 21×.

• Worked in a team of 4 to develop an end-to-end OCR-based web application using the MERN stack.
• Designed and developed the user authentication portal, where users were verified using JSON Web Tokens (JWT).
• Built RESTful APIs using Node.js and Express.js for the backend server, with MongoDB for the database.
• Containerized the application using Docker.
