QUEST LOG
MAIN QUEST: Amazon — SDE II
◉ IN PROGRESS- Architected and scaled a specialized Kubernetes platform managing a next-generation internal NoSQL database for retail OLTP workloads, maintaining cross-region consistency via a Powerset Paxos consensus framework.
- Designed a declarative cloud-native control plane with K8s CRDs, abstracting complex container and infrastructure topologies into isolated multi-tenant resources.
- Engineered an enterprise-grade AWS CDK platform framework (TypeScript) with custom CloudFormation resources — zero-touch provisioning of stateful multi-tenant infrastructure; led migration of 600+ enterprise services to infrastructure-as-code.
- Built a high-performance multi-zone DNS Gateway in Rust for EKS clusters — 10x cross-zone DNS performance per pod; resolved CoreDNS inefficiencies and gRPC load-balancing bottlenecks via a lightweight proxy layer.
- Led platform observability and reliability: telemetry, canaries, end-to-end integration testing and Grafana dashboards that significantly reduced MTTR.
+ XP: Paxos · CRDs · Rust · IaC at scale
