Computer Engineer Trainee @ IMTAC Repaired Computers, Printers and installed networks. Attended customer calls to troubleshoot problems. From June 2006 to July 2006 (2 months) Muscat, OmanSoftware Engineer II @ Microsoft Org : AI and ResearchTeam : AI Data and Infrastructure★ Advocated OSS and ran monthly meetups in Bellevue, WA. ★ Division agility champ for "eVelocity initiative" to drive adoption of modern eng systems (Git, Nuget, CI/CD etc) and infra (virtualization, micro-services) to increase NSAT > 140.Product : Reactor - NRT distributed event streaming computation system based on Reactive Extensions (Rx) and LINQ at a large scale (> 250M active subscriptions)★ Area Tech Lead : Manageability & Tooling► Approximated 1P and 3P pricing model.► Project lead: Evaluating document-oriented and SQL storage options as replacements for blob-based to enable complex querying capabilities for APIs and core services.► Optimized service metrics availability for load-balancing computations across micro-services (Service Fabric) by replacing ZeroMQ with in-house streaming buffer service and Azure Table.► Authored telemetry Observers (Rx) to add transparency during computations.► Project lead : Revamped the telemetry and alerting system using ETW and integrated with multiple telemetry services. Dramatically increased the transparency and enabled data-driven decision making. Product : Sangam - Distributed compute platform enabling versatile custom workflows with orchestration based on schedules, events or data-availability at a massive scale (>1.5M jobs/day, data movement > 45TB/day, unique customers > 650)► Investigated Docker/Mesos/Marathon stack for vNext.► Project lead: Revamped the engineering systems enabling faster release cadence.► Single-handedly hosted elastic stack to facilitate transparency via telemetry. From February 2015 to February 2019 (4 years 1 month) Bellevue, WASoftware Development Engineer @ Microsoft Product : Sangam (contd ...)► Contributed to the platform framework to enable moving data into elasticsearch from various sources and to enable running Node.js scripts.► Designed and developed a self-hosting solution using Chef which opened up scenarios for customers making it flexible to host services in any data center (labs) or cloud (Azure/AWS).► Integrated Yammer into reports which enabled customers to easily share and discuss their workflow results with their peers.► Reduced web UI downtime by adding availability tests and alerting thus being proactive.► Stabilized reporting database by implementing sliding-window protocol to expire older table partitions and scaled-out the same to accommodate increasing data storage needs by implementing federated (sharded) SQL databases in an Always-On configuration ensuring high-availability. From March 2014 to February 2015 (1 year) Bellevue, WASoftware Engineer / DevOps @ Pharos Systems International ► Company expert and a point person in Cloud Computing with in-depth knowledge of Amazon Web Services (AWS).► Automating deployment of a highly scalable and fault tolerant Managed Print Services solution on AWS by transforming infrastructure into code using Chef and Ruby.► Analysed previous automated deployment model in AWS, communicated and understood the requirements of Dev, QA and Production Support teams and reduced the "update deployment and services" task from almost 2 hours to approximately 20 minutes. Also created options to deploy specific machine roles with order of seconds.► Attended the AWS Summit 2013 NYC► Implemented distributed logging stack for complete Managed Print Services deployment using Logstash, Elasticsearch and Kibana.► Set up a simple and optimized database backup strategy for MySQL mounted on EBS with reducing frequency as going into past. (e.g. Last 48 hours - hourly, Last 2 weeks - daily, Last 2 months - weekly, Last 1 year - monthly, All yearly)► As a part of the Server team, designing and developing RESTful web services using C# and various distributed paradigms to support the iPad and Web applications in an Agile fashion.► Profiled and load tested the back-end core RESTful web services by modeling the web client and site client usage and used it in a DDoS style attack using JMeter server-clients model in AWS and found that core services increase response time exponentially after crossing certain no. of web requests per second. This resulted in deeper analysis of core services and helped re-visit design decisions to accommodate higher number of users.► Single handedly designed and developed a credit-card payment web solution for a legacy printing management system using ASP.NET MVC 3.0 and Paypal API.► Designed and developed a multithreaded printers management console and a touch screen kiosk solution with easy workflow for a public library in WPF.► Debugged a C++/COM solution designed for an electronic payment system.
