Experience

  • Broadcom (Full-time · 15 yrs 7 mos)
    • Engineering Manager
      Jan 2019 - Present · 7 yrs 7 mos

      I lead a platform team responsible for reliability, delivery cadence, and cost efficiency across critical services. I translate ambiguous needs into executable milestones, align engineering with SRE and product on operating standards, and protect release quality through clear readiness criteria and gated rollout practices. I’ve also introduced AIOps-inspired workflows such as alert clustering, anomaly detection, and capacity forecasting to reduce noise, improve triage consistency, and strengthen cross-team operations

    • Tech Lead
      2014 - 2019 · 5 yrs

      I drove platform architecture and key-path improvements, including tightening service boundaries and API contracts, refining caching and queueing strategies, enabling progressive delivery with safe rollback, and building end-to-end observability. When performance issues surfaced, I relied on measurement and controlled experiments, separating throughput, latency, and cost drivers to explain tradeoffs clearly and guide changes to production-ready stability

    • Senior Software Engineer
      2011 - 2014 · 3 yrs

      I owned core modules for high-throughput services and improved reliability and maintainability. I strengthened fundamentals across logs, metrics, and tracing, documented recurring failure modes into practical runbooks, and contributed to automated testing and release workflows to reduce manual production oversight. During this period, I piloted lightweight models to help prioritize alerts and iterated based on operational feedback

  • Software Engineering Lead at Marvell Technology
    2008 - 2011 · 3 yrs

    I led a small team building storage and networking platform components, focusing on operability at scale. I standardized configuration, unified monitoring, and pushed change risk left through design reviews and automated validations. Across upgrades and migrations, I kept execution steady, protected production stability, and coached newer engineers to take independent ownership of modules

  • Software Engineer at Silicon Labs
    2006 - 2008 · 2 yrs

    I worked on system-side development and tooling, building strong fundamentals in performance tuning, data processing, and production debugging. I developed a disciplined incident mindset: every issue should end with a clear root cause, supporting evidence, and prevention actions. Close collaboration with test, hardware, and operations teams shaped my communication style to stay concrete and execution-oriented
