Rakesh Ranjan Email & Phone Number

With over 19 years of experience, I design and develop innovative data storage management solutions, driving revenue growth through my expertise in distributed storage systems, cloud-native technologies, and data protection. My notable projects include VERITAS IS-X, DIAMANTI Ultima, VERITAS Iris Hyperconverged Appliance, VERITAS HyperScale, and VERITAS Infoscale.🔹 Extensive experience in product development from inception to production in both Fortune 500 companies and startups.🔹 Expertise in HCI Storage Architectures, Distributed Storage Systems, Cloud Computing, Containerization, Kubernetes, Device Driver Development, Caching, and Replication. Strong system programming skills and a good understanding of storage I/O path subsystems.🔹 Passionate about driving digital transformation through cutting-edge storage solutions and cloud-native technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP). Focused on architecting scalable, high-performance storage systems and leveraging AI and machine learning for data-driven insights.Technical Skills:🔹 HCI Storage Architectures 🔹 Cloud-Native Technologies (AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes) 🔹 Storage Systems (Distributed Storage, Block Storage, Object Storage) 🔹 System Programming (Kernel, User-Space) 🔹 Data Protection (Backup, Recovery) 🔹 Device Driver Development 🔹 Caching, Replication, Performance OptimizationKey Contributions:🔹 Actively mentor junior team members, supporting their professional growth and enhancing team performance. Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to successfully launch new products.🔹 Architected the IS-X control plane, enabling cloud-native block storage and stateful applications in a multi-cloud environment. Developed IS-X controllers using Kubernetes extensible API framework with a Custom Resource Definition (CRD) model.🔹 Developed multiple data path components of Diamanti Ultima Kubernetes data plane solution for on-prem and public cloud environments. Created a host-based Volume Encryption feature and developed Diamanti CSI driver for Kubernetes integration.🔹 Designed and implemented an enterprise-level data protection solution in Hyperconverged Infrastructure using VERITAS Iris. Led the design of Global Deduplication and snapshot backup, restore, and recovery management using a deduplication storage pool.🔹 Developed VERITAS HyperScale for OpenStack. Co-designed and implemented Compute and Data plane I/O System (IOManager) and multiprotocol data access plugins.I'm eager to connect with tech innovators and problem-solvers.
