Past Experience

For two years till June 2018, I worked at Google on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). As an early member of the GKE team, I wore several hats, handling roles from product management to release engineering to being point-of-contact for external customers as the team grew. I also spent a couple of years prior to that working on infrastructure at Nvidia.

I have a Master’s degree in Computer Science from Texas A&M University and a Bachelor’s Degree from the Indian Institute of Technology (BHU).
