Backend & Distributed Systems Engineer · CNCF Contributor (Kubernetes · OpenTelemetry · Jaeger)
Final-year IT @ ABV-IIITM Gwalior. I build Kubernetes-native services, observability tooling, and GenAI retrieval systems — infrastructure that has to hold up in production.
Merged contributions to Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, and Jaeger — work that ships in production across cloud-native deployments.
| Project | PR | Contribution |
|---|---|---|
| Kubernetes | #137398 |
Goroutine hot-loop fix in client-go StartEventWatcher — merged into v1.36 |
| Kubernetes | #137999 |
Fix for kubelet cgroup-resize nil-pointer panic |
| OpenTelemetry | #46506 |
Parse-time AST constant folding for pure OTTL functions — removes redundant per-datapoint evaluation in the collector hot path |
| Jaeger | contributions | MaxTraceSize OOM safeguard · API v3 limit/attribute filtering · OTTL delete-matching-values |
