About

I'm a backend and infrastructure engineer in Bengaluru with four years at Codewave. For the last two I've worked on the control plane of Hosted AI, an IaaS and GPU-cloud platform: keeping redundant storage healthy across KVM nodes, moving the cluster database to a Raft-replicated store, and making the control plane survive losing its primary node. I also own production stability and billing for a GPU-cloud platform built on it. I started out shipping Flutter apps and still do, as founding engineer of OutRoute. I am open to any like-minded collab.

Experience

Software Developer, Go backend and infrastructure

Codewave · Hosted AI

2024 - Present
  • Designed the Go orchestration layer for redundant vDisks over the node-level RAID daemon, with a repair scheduler that recovers failed replicas and fenced disks automatically.
  • Built control-plane high availability on etcd and DQLite, so losing the primary node no longer needs manual recovery.
  • Led the Go side of multi-node KVM clustering, including a node CLI with transactional adds and removal guardrails.
  • Restructured KVM instance creation into clear stages with cleanup on failure, and wrote the Linux and Windows cloud-init templates.
  • Moved VM metrics from RRD files to Prometheus, added Furiosa NPU support, and removed pool-subscription races with ordered locks.

Production and billing owner

Codewave · GPU-cloud platform on Hosted AI

Jun 2026 - Present
  • Replaced an automated pod-removal path with a held-by-default kill switch, an approval queue and an audit trail.
  • Rolled out an email-keyed customer identity model behind a flag, with shadow-mode comparison and one-step rollback.
  • Corrected billing and revenue-reporting logic and closed a tenant-isolation gap in credential handling.
  • Second reviewer on 140+ pull requests while the backend moved to Go.
