Senior Software Engineer @ WSO2

I am a senior software engineer with over 6+ years of experience (including 5+ years of full-time engineering at WSO2). I build the systems that build the future — specializing in scalable cloud-native infrastructure and Internal Developer Platforms (IDPs) that redefine the developer experience.

Currently, I am a core team member of OpenChoreo, an internal developer platform that helps platform engineering teams streamline developer workflows, simplify complexity, and deliver secure, scalable Internal Developer Portals — without building everything from scratch..

OpenChoreo is an open-source, developer platform for Kubernetes offering development and architecture abstractions, a Backstage-powered developer portal, application CI/CD, GitOps, and observability. It composes CNCF and complementary projects into a modular, extensible framework that provides both strong governance for platform engineers and simplified abstractions for developers.

Throughout my career at WSO2, I have contributed to several core products and open-source ecosystems:

• Choreo: An internal developer platform for building, deploying, and managing cloud-native applications.
• Ballerina: A cloud-native programming language designed for integration and networked services.
• WSO2 Enterprise Integrator: An open source cloud native scalable integration solution.
• Siddhi: A cloud-native, open-source complex event processing and stream processing engine.
• WSO2 Stream Processor: A lightweight, open-source stream processing platform.
