• Led kernel-space architecture efforts for networking and security infrastructure deployed across Linux environments.
• Drove performance optimization initiatives for kernel-level networking components through profiling, tracing, and low-level system analysis.
• Improved system throughput, latency, and resource efficiency by identifying and resolving bottlenecks in kernel-integrated networking workloads.
• Maintained compatibility across multiple Linux kernel releases by adapting to kernel API, subsystem, and behavioral changes.
• Diagnosed and resolved complex kernel-level issues involving networking, concurrency, and system performance in production environments.
• Collaborated with systems and platform teams to deliver reliable, scalable, and production-ready kernel infrastructure.
• Contributed to the design and evolution of network security infrastructure with a focus on performance, reliability, and maintainability.

• Contributed to the architecture and development of a Rust-based HTTP/3 edge runtime focused on reliability and operational resilience.
• Implemented protocol-aware routing, backend load balancing, and traffic management mechanisms for efficient request handling.
• Developed resilience features including admission control, circuit breakers, retry-budget enforcement, and graceful degradation systems.
• Built health monitoring and backend orchestration capabilities to improve service availability during failures and degraded network conditions.
• Integrated observability tooling using Prometheus and OpenTelemetry for metrics collection, tracing, and operational visibility.
• Participated in performance analysis, failure testing, and runtime optimization to improve system stability, fault tolerance, and reliability.

• Built a high-performance Perl XS wrapper over the MongoDB C driver, replacing an end-of-life client library in production environments.
• Developed scalable event ingestion and ETL pipelines in Go, consolidating data from multiple external sources into PostgreSQL with validation, transformation, and fault-tolerance mechanisms.
• Built distributed ETL workflows processing data from Ticketmaster, AllSportsDB, and SeatGeek using source-specific transformers and concurrent execution patterns.
• Designed and maintained data synchronization pipelines, improving reliability and consistency across external data providers and internal systems.
• Worked on backend services, database integrations, and production data processing systems with a focus on performance, maintainability, and operational stability.
