   Implemented performance enhancements across observability systems by introducing multithreading and optimizing metric emissions. These improvements led to a cost reduction and a 40% decrease in database CPU utilization. The changes boosted overall system efficiency and contributed to more sustainable infrastructure usage- Led the development of a system to monitor and analyze critical backend failures across the platform. This initiative improved the accuracy of outage detection by 100% and provided clear visibility into user impacting issues. Identifying true outages and pinpointing affected customers in real time, the system significantly enhanced the overall user experience and enabled faster, more informed incident response- Developed a system to aggregate data from multiple deployments into a single source, and designed availability dashboards using Terraform for real time tracking and reporting across multiple organizations. These efforts improved performance insights within Sumologic, enhancing user experience by 35%- Contributed to an open-source project by adding Terraform support for Sumologic Scheduled View and Data Forwarding services, enabling easier management and deployment of services through code. This enhancement reduced operational toil, improved automation, and streamlined infrastructure management for users- Developed Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform to automate the deployment of critical services, and implemented robust alerting systems to proactively address potential customer issues. This initiative helped expand the customer base by 15% in new regions and improved performance for 20% of existing customers- Participated in a company hackathon, where I contributed to the development of a service that simplifies deployment processes for developers, offering deployment options between EKS and Fargate via a single command- Technologies Used: AWS, Kafka, Kafka-Streams, Scala, Python, Terraform, Go
