He has deep expertise in event-streaming ecosystems—managing Kafka, MirrorMaker, Zookeeper and Cruise Control—and has driven datastore automation for Redis and Elasticsearch in production. At Gojek he combined developer-first engineering with operational rigor to deliver cost-visibility, deployment automation, and observability improvements across cloud environments. Earlier startup work exposed him to full-stack and devops responsibilities, from payment integrations to microservices and mobile backend support. Now at Kong, he continues to favor being close to source code while architecting resilient platform components. A physics-trained thinker from IIT Guwahati, he brings analytical curiosity to solving systems and performance problems that surface only at scale.
