      Worked in multiple research & development projects, in wide range of areas including Machine Learning (NLP) and performance optimization. Experienced in designing and developing production grade architectures using Azure based solutions. • Researched, engineered and deployed the initial phase of Choreo’s AI-assisted testing feature, using Python, Keras, Flask, Kubernetes and Azure DevOps pipelines. • Architected, developed and deployed Choreo’s AI-based anomaly detector with two other engineers, using Azure solutions (Azure DevOps pipelines, Azure Logic Apps, Azure Resource Manager Templates, Azure Stream Analytics, Azure Eventhubs, Azure Function Apps, Azure SQL), Ballerina, and Python, while adhering to security best practices, scaling requirements, and optimised resource usage. • Analysed Ballerina Language Server performance and identified the cause of a memory leak using JMeter and Eclipse Memory Analyser (MAT), which helped in the optimisation of resources in Choreo. • Contributed to automating the performance testing of Choreo by creating a library and a pipeline for system metrics collection using Python, Kusto, Seaborn, and Azure DevOps pipelines.
