Work Experience

Software Engineer

Accenture

Sept 2025 - Present

Bengaluru, Karnataka

  • As a Software Engineer, I continue to build upon my cloud architecture expertise, taking on more complex design and implementation challenges. My focus remains on creating globally resilient, scalable, and cost-effective solutions using cutting-edge cloud technologies.
  • I lead initiatives to further optimize cloud spending, identifying and implementing advanced cost-saving measures across multiple projects.
  • I take a proactive role in mentoring junior engineers, sharing my knowledge of Terraform, GCP, and security best practices to foster team growth and upskill our capabilities.
  • My responsibilities have expanded to include more in-depth security architecture, ensuring our systems are not just strong, but are designed with a security-first mindset from the ground up.

Associate Software Engineer

Accenture

Jul 2023 - Aug 2025

Bengaluru, Karnataka

  • Stepping into my role as an Associate Software Engineer at Accenture felt like entering a new universe one filled with the endless possibilities of cloud architecture. My first mission? To design a system that could operate seamlessly across the globe, staying online nearly 100% of the time. I turned to a tool called Terraform, which let me automate the creation of our cloud resources. I'll never forget the thrill of my first big win: watching resources spring to life in multiple regions, perfectly in sync, like conducting a digital orchestra.
  • With that foundation set, I dove into the world of cloud technology. Using Google Cloud services, I crafted applications that could scale and adapt as needed. It was a playground of innovation combining tools like Compute Engine, Cloud Storage, and Cloud SQL felt like assembling a high tech puzzle, each piece unlocking new potential.
  • But power comes with responsibility, and I quickly learned that managing costs was just as critical. I spotted systems running round the clock when they didn’t need to be, so I set up automatic schedules to switch them off during quiet hours. The result? A hefty chunk of savings without a single dip in performance a small tweak with a big payoff.
  • Keeping things running smoothly was another passion of mine. I used Google Cloud's monitoring tools to build alerts and dashboards that acted like an early warning system. One time, an alert caught a potential issue before it even hit us fixing it felt like I'd gained a superpower, keeping the team one step ahead.
  • Databases became my next frontier. I managed our data systems to ensure they were always available and lightning fast, diving deep into the details to keep everything humming along perfectly.
  • Security was non negotiable. I set up controls to decide who could access what, and locked down our data with encryption, making sure our systems were as safe as they were strong.
  • Along the way, I documented every step sketching out cloud diagrams and writing guides so my teammates could pick up where I left off. Sharing knowledge became my way of building a stronger, faster team.
  • My time at Accenture has been a wild ride of growth and discovery. I’ve built resilient cloud solutions, slashed costs, boosted reliability, and kept security front and center all while thriving in a fast paced, creative environment. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

  • I got to play architect in the cloud, designing systems on Google Cloud Platform that could grow and shrink like magic. The best part? We saved 20% on costs while making everything run smoother. It was like building a city that could expand instantly during rush hour and cozy up when things got quiet all without breaking the bank.
  • I took our old school apps and gave them a new home in the cloud. It was like moving from a clunky old car to a sleek, fast electric one 35% cheaper to run and 40% faster. Watching those apps come to life in their new environment, zipping along without a hitch, was a proud moment.
  • I set up a safety net for our systems so that if anything went wrong, we could bounce back in minutes, not hours. It was like having a superhero on speed dial ready to save the day at a moment's notice. Knowing our systems could recover that fast gave the whole team peace of mind.
  • I built a fortress in the cloud, using tools like VPC and Cloud Load Balancing to keep our apps safe and running smoothly, no matter how many people were using them. It was like creating a VIP lounge for our applications exclusive, secure, and always open for business.
  • I turned our data warehouse into a speed demon, making queries 45% faster and cutting storage costs by 30%. It was like giving our data a turbo boost suddenly, everything was quicker, cheaper, and way more efficient. The team could get insights in a flash, and I loved seeing the impact.

  • Led the charge in moving our old school systems to the cloud, which not only cut our costs by 40% but also made our systems way more flexible and ready to grow.
  • Set up serverless systems that run like magic, cutting down the time we spent babysitting servers by 60%. It's like having an invisible team handling the heavy lifting.
  • Built a data superhighway that lets us see what's happening in our business right now, not yesterday. It's like having a crystal ball for our data.
  • Set up a conveyor belt for our code that gets new features out the door twice as fast and with fewer hiccups. It's like upgrading from a bicycle to a sports car for our deployments.
