Self-Service VM Provisioning on VCF Automation 9 — Broadcom Professional Services

VMware's private-cloud automation platform — a self-service catalog where customers request and provision their own VMs.

Responsibilities

• Implemented a self-service VM provisioning catalog item on VCF Automation 9 (formerly Aria Automation) — a dynamic request form backed by 20+ Orchestrator actions, workflows, and configuration elements, driving Kubernetes-native VM deployment.
• Automated IP address management against NetBox IPAM and vCenter — live IP availability, hostname generation with uniqueness validation, and event-driven IP registration after deployment (via VCF Automation subscriptions).
• Improved shared, reusable TypeScript automation libraries and built a generic, strongly typed configuration layer on top of them.

TVM — Tradeview Markets

Responsibilities

• Developed a low-latency, sub-millisecond online trading backend in Go with zero allocations in the hot paths.
• Used a pre-allocated slot map and reusable buffers to avoid allocations on the order path.
• Used sync.Pool for the buffers that encode inter-service messages.
• Built the inter-service transport using the Aeron protocol.
• Integrated multiple Liquidity Provider (LP) APIs for real-time automated order routing and execution.

MFC — MultiFeedCenter

Third-party data feeds ingested from many providers and reconciled into a single stream for downstream consumers.

Responsibilities

• Migrated the .NET feed services from Windows Server services to cloud-native workloads — containerised with Docker, packaged as Helm charts and run under Kubernetes.
• Designed GitOps CD pipelines via ArgoCD using the app-of-apps pattern to automate and streamline multi-service Kubernetes deployments.
• Deployed a complete Kubernetes observability stack (Grafana, Loki, Prometheus, Elasticsearch, OpenTelemetry Collector) for distributed tracing and monitoring.
• Configured and integrated Keycloak IAM SSO across Grafana, ArgoCD, and backend services (.NET).

Sportradar

The rights and channel management platform behind Sportradar's streaming product — which sports, tournaments and territories each betting operator is licensed to show.

Responsibilities

• Built the Go jobs that synchronized matches, tournaments, categories and competitors from Sportradar's sports data service, consumed over gRPC streams and reconciled into the platform's own database.
• Added a sync state service that records the last applied update per feed, so a job resumes where it stopped instead of re-reading the stream.
• Exposed media assets through the GraphQL API as presigned S3 URLs.

Daki

Brazil's most popular grocery delivery app.

Responsibilities

• Built the order flows in Go — create, cancel, fulfillment, payment — as Temporal workflows, so an order halfway through picking survives a restart instead of being dropped.
• Added the compensation steps: an item that goes out of stock comes off the order or cancels it, and a payment that fails puts the reserved stock back.
• Exposed the whole order cycle through the GraphQL API.

CSFN — Cisco

Cisco Secure Firewall Cloud Native — the firewall and VPN Cisco ships as an appliance, delivered instead as a Kubernetes service on AWS.

Responsibilities

• Led the engineering team developing Kubernetes Operators for Cisco Secure Firewall Cloud Native to automate lifecycle, resource management, and security policies.
• Designed an Operator that wires AWS Shield into newly deployed services.
• Tightened access control in Kubernetes RBAC and AWS IAM.
