Experience
Azure Change Tracking
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/automation/change-tracking/overviewAzure Change Tracking and Inventory uses Azure Security Center File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) to examine operating systems, application files, and Windows Registry. While FIM monitors those entities, Change Tracking and Inventory natively tracks software changes, Microsoft services, and Linux daemons.
In addition to authoring and designing an agent in Windows and Linux, using Go, Socket programming, Docker, Kubernetes, and Windows socket pipe, I designed the following:
• An agent that's able to handle high-concurrency throughput, using goroutines and reactive programming.
• The architecture using Azure, including Event Hubs, DevOps, Cloud Services, Kubernetes Services, CDPX, and Stack.
• An extensive testing framework for Windows and Linux agents, Makefile, Ruby, and Python 3, using Go-vektra and Selenium.

Application Hosting
Application Hosting is a consolidated platform that allows multiple users to onboard and host applications within Walmart. This solution can scale up to 10PB of data and support 30,000 reads per second. Using this solution, multiple Walmart teams can perform analytics on top of big data that used to take 12 hours and can now be done in 30 minutes. This solution enables them to do real-time analytics and increase cost-optimization within Walmart.
DirecTV Video Streaming
As a software engineer, I designed and developed a Video on Demand (VOD) platform for DirecTV, using technologies like React, Node.js, and FFMpeg. The platform allowed users to stream high-quality on-demand video content with minimal latency and buffering, utilizing RESTful APIs and AWS cloud services like S3, EC2, and Lambda for efficient video storage and delivery. I also leveraged my skills in JavaScript and REST APIs to create a custom HTML/CSS video player seamlessly integrated into the DirecTV website and mobile app. Overall, the VOD platform was a successful project that provided DirecTV users with a high-quality video streaming experience and allowed the company to remain competitive in the content delivery space.
