Engineering Lead | Java • AWS • Distributed Systems | Cloud Infrastructure & Data Platforms | Startup Co-Founder | GenAI
I’m an Engineering Lead with 10+ years of experience building cloud-native backend systems — from initial architecture to production scale. At John Deere, I lead distributed, real-time data platforms in a global IoT environment, and as a startup co-founder, I’ve built products from zero to launch. I specialize in setting strong technical foundations for early-stage projects: scalable microservices, event-driven systems, AWS infrastructure, Terraform, CI/CD, and observability. Core stack: Java, Kotlin, Spring Boot, AWS, Terraform, OpenSearch/ELK, Docker — currently expanding into Generative AI integration.

Implementing the Stochastic Scaling Element of Network Calculus
October 1, 2014 – March 1, 2015
The purpose of this project is to describe the workings of an end-to-end performance analyzer for networks with stochastic scaling elements based on stochastic network calculus. The network calculus, is a theory that focuses on performance guarantees by dealing with queuing systems. The SNC is one, that allows to analyze queuing systems in terms of probabilistic performance bounds. This tool was developed to demonstrate that the end-to-end delays grow linearly with the number of nodes.
IP Messenger & File Locking
February 1, 2012 – April 1, 2012
Android based Application which would allow user to communicate via text, voice, video messages using any wifi connection without prior setup for server. Can share files and folders and even encrypt files/folder for security purpose.
Duckworth Lewis Calculator & Live Socre Feeds
February 1, 2012 – March 1, 2012
An android based application which helps to predict cricket score or game result when there is interruption in match due to external reasons using Duckworth Lewis algorithm. This application also provides an live score for all the ongoing international cricket match all over globe.
Vehicular Traffic Control
May 1, 2011 – November 1, 2011
Developed two algorithms which are more effective over the present algorithm for control of vehicular traffic in India. The suggested algorithm are capable of reducing the time consumption of vehicle in system to reach from one place to other.
