I'm a Lead Software Engineer at Microsoft Azure, enabling cloud networking services for millions of cloud users. I've 12+ years of experience in Distributed Systems, Web Applications, Machine Learning, and proficient in Java, Dotnet, Python, Go Lang, Node.JS, Database and Cloud technologies. I graduated Master's in Computer Science from Georgia Tech with specialization in Distributed Computing Systems. I did my B.Tech from National Institute of Technology, Surat in Computer Engineering. After years of building products from scratch to global scale, I’ve realized the highest-impact work often happens through people, not just systems. Mentorship played a pivotal role in my own growth — helping me navigate technical ambiguity, organizational dynamics, and career-defining decisions that no documentation ever covered. I believe great engineers aren’t built by chance. They’re shaped by timely conversations, thoughtful feedback, and someone willing to invest in their potential. I’ve seen firsthand how a small piece of advice or a reframed perspective can completely change the trajectory of someone’s career. At this point, my greatest leverage isn’t writing more code — it’s helping others level up, avoid avoidable mistakes, and grow into engineers who can lead, scale, and think beyond their current scope. Mentoring also sharpens my own thinking, keeps me connected to different perspectives, and reinforces the idea that our industry moves forward when we invest in each other.
