Starting from day0 to v1 and onwards to v2, built and delivered slew of functionalities for Azure Database for PostgreSQL relational database service. Starting as engineer and later as tech, people lead - drove design, implementation, shipping and servicing of mission-critical features - from infra-oriented features like bootstrapping open-source PostgreSQL in custom and open-source containers, to customer-facing features like backup, geo-backup, local and geo point-in-time restore, read-replicas, data-encryption, online and auto-scaling of storage.

Deeply engaged in adding capabilities to light weight and highly-configurable monitoring and tracing infrastructure used inside and out of SQL Server Engine, including for Microsoft's cloud database offering SQL Azure DB.Primarily C/C++.

Brief but exciting stay over in data marketplace platform. Growing from a small startup kind of atmosphere to a platform in its own right, I on-boarded Windows Azure Store onto the marketplace to set up offers for application and data sets.C#/ASP.NET MVC/Javascript

Switched roles to build a web service (WCF) and corresponding client piece. The client agent helps set up spokes for a master-slave sync for synchronizing on-premise SQL Server databases against SQL Azure master behind an Azure Service.Owned and delivered complete design, security, implementation of Windows Service and web service, Agent UI, installer, security.WCF, Windows Service, XAML, Windows Installer (WiX), C#

Moved into owning Stress testing for entire sync platform (Microsft Sync Framework). Enhanced stress framework, built stress libraries, metrics, email alerts, long haul tests for multiple releases.Earned recognition of Best Stress engineer across SQL Server's Data Platform group.C#, C++.

Started my journey at Microsoft in the fabled Windows Futuristic Storage (WinFS) in the synchronization layer. After briefly testing, moved onto full-blown Microsoft Sync Framework to test sync engine as well as out of the box providers for File System and Database. Spent quite sometime automating tests, building test libraries and reducing time from months to minutes for testing SyncToy, a hugely popular syncing application using FileSystem provider. C#, .Net

Built up computer science breadth and depth, while researching between Physics, Biochemistry and Computer Science departments to optimize protein-small molecule interactions, protein flexibility for master's thesis. Funded by Pfizer and MSU-Biochem.Won Best Poster (CS) for cross-discipline research work.C/C++, Java, Fortran, Linux
