About

I enjoy turning messy data into meaningful solutions and complex problems into simpler ones. Currently a Database Engineer at GE Vernova, working on data harmonization, SQL, and modernizing legacy systems. I like building things that solve real problems, automating the boring stuff, and finding better ways to get things done. Curious by nature, an engineer by profession, and always learning. Writing code is good. Making things work better is the real goal.

Distributed Task Queue System

• Designed a distributed task execution framework using Redis-backed queues and independent worker processes for asynchronous workload scheduling. • Implemented task lifecycle management, retries, failure handling, and worker coordination to improve reliability and fault tolerance of distributed workloads. • Integrated Prometheus monitoring to measure task latency, throughput, queue depth, worker behavior, and execution failures.
