📅 Oct 2025 – Present

• Contributor to OpenTelemetry and code owner of the AWSCloudWatchLogsExporter, reviewing PRs and maintaining exporter stability.
• Fixed critical exporter issues affecting cross-account AWS deployments, unblocking enterprise users and improving compatibility across cloud environments.
• Regularly participate in maintainer discussions, design reviews, and issue triage, contributing to the evolution of OpenTelemetry standards and best practices.

📅 Jun 2025 – Jul 2025

• Worked with the ERP Manthan team, a centralized web portal for colleges to manage student records, attendance, faculty data, assignments, and academic operations at a single place.
• Designed and implemented a student registration module to handle structured storage and retrieval of student data across current and past batches.
• Collaborated with the ERP team to ensure data validation, clean backend workflows, and maintainable business logic.

A Go-based distributed order processing system designed to demonstrate real-world observability concepts.
Implements OpenTelemetry tracing across HTTP services, Kafka messaging, and PostgreSQL, with traces visualized in Jaeger and failure simulations to explore debugging in distributed systems.

A modular Go CLI tool for automated database backups supporting multiple database engines.
Features compressed backups, structured logging, and pluggable storage backends (local and cloud) to ensure reliable and extensible data protection workflows.

• Fixed a bug removing role_arn support in the awscloudwatchlogs exporter, restoring IAM role-based authentication and unblocking IBM Software Group’s production observability pipeline.

• Added a CLI flag to retrieve the Postgres database URL via branches get, enabling automated branch preview setup and reducing manual environment configuration in CI/CD pipelines.

• Built a metrics visualization component supporting linear, circular, and raw modes with flexible APIs and 90%+ unit test coverage, and contributed documentation and demos.
