I build infrastructure at the kernel level — Kubernetes, eBPF, SDN, distributed systems. Currently a Founding Engineer at Nava AI, designing and operating a bare-metal multi-tenant cloud platform from the ground up.
- Kubernetes & Platform Engineering — Designed distributed block storage (Mayastor), KubeVirt VM-as-a-Service, Helm-based multi-region deployments
- SDN & Networking — Built software-defined networking with OVN/OVS, eBPF data plane acceleration, service mesh, VPC/subnet abstractions
- eBPF & Kernel — Runtime security enforcement (BPF-LSM), DNS tracing (kprobes), CNI plugins (TC hooks), conntrack, XDP-based packet processing
- Observability — Grafana plugins, OpenTelemetry adapters, Elasticsearch/OpenSearch pipelines for distributed system monitoring
I maintain and contribute to infrastructure tooling at the kernel and platform level:
| Project | Contributions |
|---|---|
| Kronos | BPF-LSM runtime enforcement engine for Kubernetes (Rust/Aya) — own project |
| DNS-tracer | eBPF-based kernel-level DNS query capture — own project |
| KubeArmor (CNCF) | Merged PRs: operator policy update fixes, relay RBAC, hardened rule presets; also contributed DNS visibility (kprobes), CLI optimization, Grafana plugin |
| KubeOVN | Merged PR: fixed egress sync status field on ACL update failure (#6804) |
| KubeVirt | Filed issues: RBAC ephemeral backup (#18057), nil pointer dereference in virt-operator (#18018) |
