Hello there 👋

(But where's the higher ground XD)

About Me

  • IIT Kharagpur 2024
  • Systems and infrastructure engineer focused on operating systems, distributed systems, and kernel/cloud-native internals
  • Active open-source contributor to etcd, kernel-adjacent runtimes, and low-level tooling
  • Technical notes and experiments: https://sneaky-potato.github.io/

Engineering philosophy

I focus on:

  • Correctness under failure
  • Removing unnecessary work from common paths
  • API discipline at system boundaries (kernel/userspace, client/server)
  • Runtime abstraction design

Currently exploring

  • eBPF runtime layers
  • TC/XDP classifier design
  • Scriptable networking paths

Contributions to Open Source

Lua In Kernel - Kernel Adjacent Lua Runtime

  • Added support for non-shared objects within shared classes, bypassing unnecessary object locking #434
  • Eliminated index-based method dispatch by eagerly wrapping class methods at initialization, reducing allocations in hot paths #410
  • Added LLDP example using AF_PACKET to demonstrate low-level packet I/O #341
  • Standardized raw socket patterns for safer reuse #360, #364
  • Enforced explicit (protocol, ifindex) pairing in raw socket bind() for API correctness #378

Etcd - Distributed Key-Value Store (CNCF)

Contributions across robustness testing, authentication, client behavior, and server internals:

  • Improved client-server authentication for client managed JWTs #20747, #20802
  • Removed duplicate delete/compact operations in robustness tests, reducing linearization cost #20877, #21043

Trivy - Security Scanner

  • Fixed Java dependency analysis by excluding development dependencies from Gradle lockfile #8803
  • Updated documentation to clarify handling of development dependencies in Gradle lockfiles #8830
  • Added support for parsing bun.lock files to improve Node.js ecosystem coverage #8851
  • Implemented vulnerability analysis for Bun lockfiles in Node.js projects #8897

Rust-GCC Rust Frontend by GCC

  • Check for deprecated attributes #432

I like to track my time, Wakatime and this awesome action allows me to do that automatically.
