About

I’m a Golang engineer building distributed systems, storage, and p2p (libp2p), with the observability to run them in production. Member of Technical Staff at FluidCloud, where I write cloud scanners in Go, build service-to-service auth with Keycloak, and provision infra with Terraform across Oracle Cloud, AWS, and Azure.

My code is merged into Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Jenkins. Two years of Google Summer of Code with Jenkins: mentee in 2023, mentor in 2024. Earlier, at RapidFort, I hardened OSS container images shipped to the U.S. DoD and cut their CVEs by roughly 80%.

Right now I’m contributing to a Lightning Network node and exploring web3 infra. Open to remote work.

Experience

2023 – present

Member of Technical Staff FluidCloud

Nov 2025 – Present

Cross-team work across backend and infrastructure. Write custom cloud scanners in Go and deploy them across Oracle Cloud, AWS, and Azure; provision infra with Terraform.
Built service-to-service auth from scratch (Keycloak, OAuth2 client-credentials / OIDC), securing internal API traffic.
Built an Oracle Cloud cost-reporting pipeline from scratch using Oracle Functions and DuckDB to query CUR data.
Improved observability across microservices: OpenTelemetry traces and metrics to Prometheus / Grafana with trace-ID contextual logging.

Software Development Engineer RapidFort Inc.

Jun 2024 – Nov 2025

Joined as an intern, converted to full-time · Community Images, then the Security Scanner team

Community Images: hardened 12+ OSS container images (including IronBank / DoD images), shrinking their attack surface and cutting CVEs ~80%.
Scanner team: worked on the core scanner that finds CVEs in Docker images, and built an AI-assisted “sister-CVE” predictor (ExploitDB + Flask + Python) for correlated CVEs.
Built cross-team configuration management adopted across prod, dev, and staging.

Founding Engineer Aquanode

Jun 2025 – Aug 2025

GPU cloud for ML/AI, built with Ansh

Built the core Go backend for a GPU cloud: deploy on H100 / A100-class GPUs across many providers, pay only while in use.
Built Mjolnir, the control-plane API tracking GPU deployment state across DataCrunch, Hyperstack, and Nebius: one control plane over fragmented providers.
Built Ogre, a distributed daemon on the deployed GPUs for backups, health checks, and utilization.

Open Source Contributor Jenkins · Google Summer of Code

2023 – 2024

Mentee in 2023, back as a mentor in 2024

Rebuilt the Jenkins docs (11M+ users) on a versioned GatsbyJS + Antora stack and shipped its CI/CD.
Came back the year after being a mentee to mentor the next GSoC cohort, and modernized Java CI plugins.

Open Source

Not tutorials. Merged, reviewed code in the infrastructure the industry actually runs on, since 2022. Two years of Google Summer of Code with Jenkins: mentee in 2023, back as a mentor in 2024. Every line below links to a real merged PR.

Kubernetes

Merged into core kubernetes/kubernetes: a regression test pinning the negative-index behaviour of json-patch. Also a contributor to kubernetes-sigs/kueue (job queueing for batch and AI workloads) and its Prow job config, on the build and CI side.

Prometheus

Multiple PRs merged into prombench, Prometheus' benchmarking test bench. Also worked in the query layer (a limit parameter on /query and /query_range) and exposed direct_reclaims_total in memcached_exporter.

GPU cloud platform for ML/AI teams: deploy on H100/A100-class GPUs across many providers and pay only while in use. Built the core Go backend, Mjolnir (a control-plane API tracking GPU deployment state across DataCrunch, Hyperstack, Nebius and more) and Ogre (a distributed daemon on the GPUs for backups, health checks, and better GPU utilization).

Dockerium

Minimal rootless container runtime built on Linux namespaces and the Docker API; Xontainer adds rootless user/mount/PID-namespace sandboxing for OCI-style isolation.

Phile Storage

Content-addressed P2P storage (CIDv1, sha2-256) over go-libp2p, with Ed25519 PeerID identity, Kademlia DHT routing, and a custom block-transfer stream protocol for trustless, deduplicated retrieval.
