Software Engineer at Canva

September 1, 2020 - December 1, 2020

Contributed to Canva's static export pipeline, implementing backend rendering flows for PDF, SVG, and print-quality assets using Golang. Improved concurrency and memory efficiency of export workers by 30% through profiling and refactoring. Enhanced backend-to-front-end parameter mapping to ensure pixel-accurate exported outputs. Built micro UI improvements in React for export settings and preflight validation workflows.

Software Engineer at Meta

January 1, 2021 - February 1, 2023

Built cloud-scale backend services for Meta's container runtime lifecycle including scheduling, admission control, rollout validation, and host health management. Designed fault-tolerant microservice architectures in Golang and Python, interfacing with cgroup v2, eBPF, and Meta's cluster scheduler Twine. Built real-time telemetry-based distributed tracing, metrics, and structured logging, significantly improving observability and root-cause analysis across dozens of microservices. Built operator-facing dashboards (React + TypeScript) to visualize scheduling status, rollout progress, and failure patterns; created internal CLIs and automation services (Node.js/Nest.js) to improve developer productivity and velocity. Collaborated with networking, security, and ML-driven traffic analysis teams.

Senior Backend Engineer at Meta

February 1, 2023 - September 1, 2024

Led backend engineering for container resource isolation and multi-tenant scheduling platforms, supporting AI/ML, GPU, and accelerator-heavy workloads across millions of hosts. Designed and implemented distributed backend services in Golang and Python, interfacing with cgroup v2, eBPF, and Meta's cluster scheduler Twine. Built real-time telemetry and data pipelines powering AI-driven scheduling feedback loops, enabling smarter workload placement and improved cluster utilization. Developed high-throughput metrics ingestion, aggregation, and analysis used by capacity planning and ML optimization teams. Maintained and extended BeLow, Meta's open-source time-aware resource monitor; reduced runtime overhead by 25% and improved display accuracy and sampling efficiency. Delivered backend APIs and data services powering internal observability dashboards for CPU/GPU isolation, contention detection, and anomaly analysis. Built operator-facing dashboards (React + TypeScript) to visualize scheduli

Senior Backend Engineer at Amazon Web Services (AWS)

September 1, 2024 - November 1, 2025

Senior backend engineer leading backend and infra development for a cloud-native distributed network emulation platform used across AWS networking orgs to validate routing, packet forwarding, and configuration changes prior to global rollout. Built event-driven orchestration pipelines enabling deterministic replay of real-world network traffic, multi-hop topologies, and fault-injection scenarios at datacenter scale. Improved end-to-end latency by 45% through asynchronous task pipelines, queue-based execution, optimized serialization, and service decomposition. Implemented REST and gRPC APIs to power internal observability dashboards; designed OpenTelemetry-based distributed tracing, metrics, and structured logging to improve visibility and root-cause analysis across many microservices. Built operator-facing dashboards to visualize topology, status, and failure patterns, accelerating on-call response and debugging.
