Professional Experience
Tesco, Bengaluru
- Led architecture and delivery of a Kafka-based platform processing ~1B+ events/ day across hybrid cloud clusters, enabling standardized event streaming at scale.
- Designed and implemented a multi-region, multi-tenant, API-first platform with active-active replication, achieving p95 latency ~35ms.
- Hands-on development of core services using Java/ Spring Boot, Kafka pipelines, Couchbase DB, gateway, custom RBAC etc.
- Drove adoption across 25+ teams in 1 year, now supporting >50% of org traffic.
- Led technical evaluation of Kafka platforms (Confluent vs Strimzi), influencing decisions through trade-off analysis (cost, performance, operations).
- Built strong observability, fault isolation, and resiliency, achieving high availability with no major incidents.
- Drove technical execution and cross-team alignment to standardize event-driven architecture.
- Built a GenAI-driven incident analysis POC using RAG (LLaMA-class models) over logs, metrics, traces, and runbooks, enabling contextual root cause insights.
- Designed end-to-end pipeline for SREs and application engineers, generating guided debugging and remediation steps, reducing manual log analysis through effective retrieval and prompt design.
