Currently, I am scaling real-time storage at Twitter.

My team is Graph Storage, which comes under Platform -> Real Time Storage. Almost all the data on Twitter is Graph data (who follows whom, who mutes whom, who likes what, etc.).

The current stack is more than a decade old, and my team is revamping the write pipeline, reducing human operations, increasing the writing scale by 10x, and improving data consistency. Building a new service, I was involved in the multi-DC setup and working on the Backup Verification service, that verifies these 300 TB backups in real time and alerts for invalid backups.

Previously, I designed an analytical platform for data teams at Twitter that reduced operation time from days to minutes for data teams. I led this project and built monitoring, testing framework, deployment workflows, documentation, Data Access Management, and TDDs, helping customers with questions and gathering Requirements Engineering, and drove the Production Readiness Review.

I have been on many oncall rotations in order to keep the lights on at Twitter, read here about my oncall experince in detail.

I have also mentored interns, performed live rebalancing of shards to cater to Twitter traffic, and restored lost servers during heatwaves, besides regular on-call operations.

Previously, I worked at RedHat, Boston University, Atlan, Wingify, University of Manchester, University of Liverpool, Commutatus, and LeagueSX.

I graduated from Boston University(2021) in Master's of Science in Computer Science, from VIT (2018) in Bachelor's of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering.

Currently living in NYC via SEA<-BOS<-DEL<-LPL<-MAA<-LKO<-LMP.

I like to read and write every now and then. Need a daily dose of music. Need soccer (Visca el Barça, #GGMU), cricket, working-out, meditation, and long-walks for survival. Always down for a good conversation.
