AI and systems engineer with 6+ years building Linux-based systems, diagnostic tools, and developer infrastructure. At LTIMindtree/Microsoft, led C++ development for HwDiagLnx on Azure Linux - Azure's hardware diagnostics platform - driving NVIDIA and AMD GPU validation workflows (Hopper, Blackwell, MI300X), building ADAS (an LLM-powered log triage tool adopted in production team use), and using agentic AI workflows to accelerate diagnostics development. Earlier, at Coriolis Technologies, built high-availability enterprise-Linux solutions in C, Python, Go, and Redis, including custom Pacemaker resource agents, multi-node orchestration frameworks, and Terraform providers for policy-as-code compliance. Actively ship open-source developer tools including onWatch (AI API quota monitoring in Go, 580+ GitHub stars) and 4DPocket.

  • Led the HwDiagLnx team at Microsoft, owning Azure's Linux hardware diagnostics platform and driving end-to-end integration and validation of Hopper H100, Blackwell (GB200), and AMD MI300X GPU SKUs under tight delivery timelines.
  • Built ADAS, an LLM-powered log triage tool that analyzes HwDiagLnx runtime logs against known failure patterns per GPU SKU to distinguish product faults from infrastructure/node issues and generate human-readable triage summaries; adopted by the team in production and reducing manual log analysis effort during diagnostics triage.
  • Integrated agentic AI workflows into the C++ diagnostics codebase with LLM-powered code generation and review automation, accelerating iteration on new platform bring-ups including GB200, Blackwell, and MI300.
  • Designed multi-stage Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines for GB200 on Azure Linux 3, automating build, signing, and RPM packaging so production-grade artifacts ship on every commit.
  • Built a kernel module and RPM signing pipeline from scratch, standardizing the team's package signing workflow and enabling reliable cross-kernel deployment across Linux environments.
  • Automated Linux and Windows diagnostics deployment for NVIDIA/AMD GPU clusters using Bash, Python, and PowerShell integrated with Microsoft GDCO, reducing manual test-cycle effort and increasing team throughput.
  • Delivered full GPU field-diagnostics flows (fieldiag, IPMI, telemetry capture, in-band telemetry) across Hopper H100, A100, and Jasper chips, improving failure triage speed and strengthening real-time observability.
  • Shipped service-pack engineering improvements including fault-code control, binary patching, runtime log upload, and downgrade/disable logic, reducing ambiguity in diagnostics outcomes and accelerating issue resolution.
  • Owned cross-platform release management across HwDiagLnx and CSI Diagnostics (Linux and Windows), handling package validation, node recovery, and release PRs independently without escalation.

  • Led Scrum team for Program Increments, facilitating sprint retrospectives, PI evaluations, and promoting a SAFe Agile culture.
  • Resolved all customer escalations related to install, upgrade, and inter-service dependency failures, ensuring reliable deployments in production.
  • Authored a Bash-based Pacemaker resource agent that plugs CipherTrust Transparent Encryption into Red Hat clusters, embedding custom health probes and fail-over logic to deliver zero-trust, five-nines availability.
  • Built a Python-based multi-node execution framework that leverages Redis pub/sub and KV storage to orchestrate tasks across multiple nodes; exposed APIs (run-command, file transfer, agent control) that QA now use to create testcases.
  • Automated critical workflows on Linux using Python and Bash scripts, embedding Observability instrumentation.
  • Built systemd and sysvinit services with proper dependency ordering, aligning with minimal client downtime
  • Authored CTE resources for the CipherTrust Terraform provider in Go—defining schemas and implementing full CRUD + state logic to enable policy-as-code compliance.
  • Enhanced existing C binaries based on evolving client requirements, leveraging low‑level optimizations in the C programming language.
  • Implemented an "upgrade‑on‑reboot" feature ensuring zero downtime and clean state post‑reboot.
  • Implemented features and integrations for high-availability enterprise-Linux products, applying cloud-native and containerization patterns.
  • Authored RPM/DEB packaging scripts in Bash/Python with cross-distro compatibility, embedding startup logic for systemd and SysVinit to ensure seamless service management across RHEL/Ubuntu environments.
