Experience

Omnissa | Software Engineer | 2022-Present

Platform Infrastructure

  • Cut deployment time from ~35 minutes to ~10 minutes via VM-based edge design.
  • Led VM-to-AKS migration without breaking enterprise network boundaries.
  • Shipped AZURE_ONLY SKU end-to-end across deployment and licensing flows.

Security and Compliance

  • Built configurable UAG cipher controls with strict secure-suite validation.
  • Delivered P0 syslog forwarding that unblocked Hydra (V1) to Titan (V2).
  • Maintained secure behavior across Azure and AWS capacity modes.

Lifecycle and Licensing Systems

  • Built service-principal expiry workflow with proactive and post-expiry alerts.
  • Implemented daily global subscription end-date sync and validation.
  • Owned READ_ONLY org enforcement across UI and public APIs after expiry.

Cross-Service Architecture

  • Built License Migrator for V1 to V2 with continuity of entitlements and subscriptions.
  • Integrated Subscriptions, Org, Features, and V1 services for portable licensing state.
  • Led HOC and audit integration with dashboards and ops console observability.

Open to high-ownership platform and product infrastructure roles

I'm especially interested in teams where architecture quality and shipping speed are equally non-negotiable.
