About me

Hi, I’m a Software Engineer based in Bangalore, India, working in Software Infrastructure and Site Reliability.

At LinkedIn, I’ve been fortunate to gain hands-on experience with the Edge Network Infrastructure that powers large-scale, internet-facing platforms. My work involves building and automating systems around technologies like Domain Name Systems (DNS), Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and Edge-Proxies (Cloudflare, Azure Front Door, etc.).

I’m especially passionate about intelligent automation. I enjoy spotting patterns in repetitive tasks and finding ways to automate them—because I believe those tasks are better handled by machines. In the SRE and DevOps space, I see a lot of potential for AI to reduce operational load and support engineers during incident response and triaging.

At LinkedIn's Edge Infrastructure team, I built an automation system that can dynamically orchestrate Edge infrastructure based on performance metrics. I also developed a pipeline that performs automated Root-Cause Analysis for Azure Front Door-related availability incidents.

During my internship with LinkedIn's Capacity Engineering team, I designed an AI-based pipeline that used statistical heuristics and graph search to identify top root causes of anomalies during site load testing.

Experience

  1. Senior Engineer, Site Reliability

    Oct 2023 - Present Bengaluru, India
    • Senior Individual Contributor in the Edge Performance and Engineering team at LinkedIn
  2. Site Reliability Engineer

    July 2021 - Sept 2023 Bengaluru, India
    • Working with the Edge Infrastructure team, responsible for managing LinkedIn's Edge Network which involves services like DNS, CDNs, Azure Front Door, TLS certificates and related tools.
    • Developed an AI-based tool capable of intelligently orchestrating the Edge (AFD, PoPs, CDNs) on the DNS layer for optimal end-user availability. This completely automated the mundane task of manual fail-overs, cutting down on several man hours.
    • Worked on migrating site-traffic from LinkedIn's legacy Edge on to Azure Front Door. Responsible for setting up Azure Front Door and DNS ramp for the migration.
    • Worked closely with Microsoft Azure counterparts to help them recognize and solve ongoing issues with their AFD platform as it pertains to LinkedIn. Worked on devising a Proof of Concept for performing Automated Root Cause Analysis of such issues.
    • Introduced manifold improvements to LinkedIn's url short-link feature - lnkd.in - by aligning stakeholders to remove extra redirect and by onboarding it to AFD with Caching at the Edge.
  3. Site Reliability Engineering Intern

    May 2020 - July 2020 Bengaluru, India (Remote)
    • Worked with the Capacity Engineering team to devise an AI pipeline for diagnosing site performance issues and detecting capacity bottlenecks in Linkedin's RESTful service oriented infrastructure.
