• Lead and coach a distributed team of 8 engineers to achieve lifecycle management operations parity between VUM (vSphere Update Manager) and vLCM (vSphere Lifecycle Manager) for standalone hosts.
• Provided technical leadership to a team of 4 engineers for seam less integration of an event-based telemetry infra into vLCM workflows which was used for business insights. The infra included single threaded telemetry.
• Lead the design and implementation of an in-memory store to improve the efficiency of the lifecycle management (vLCM) operations from seconds to milliseconds using LRU cache as in-memory store.
• Re-designed the task-synchronization infra which made cluster-expansion possible during cluster-upgrade. The new infrastructure achieved concurrency contributing to higher performance and ~30% lower downtime of.
• Successfully managed time sensitive and high visibility projects on depots, drafts, coordinator policies, EPK, packaging infra which supported DataProcessingUnits on ESXi hosts
• Working on enhancing interoperability and reliability between vLCM and other vSphere/vCenter services by adopting K8s controller design pattern in vLCM controller plane.

• Engineering lead and SME of a python tool named EPK (ESXi packaging kit for internal and external partners), to package installation bundles used to upgrade the SDDC components like ESXi Hosts, NSX and vSAN.
• Launched a functionality in vLCM workflows to detect any hardware compatibility (HCL) issues before upgrading/updating the clusters by seamless integration of HCL checks in the workflows
• Re-architected the HCL validation operations which reduce the operation duration by ~16%
• Re-designed and enhanced the build infrastructure to publish packages compatible with hypervisor (ESXi) newer image constructs ensuring compatibility with legacy VUM content.
• Architected the cloud packaging infra to publish cumulative ESXi artifacts like online-depot, offline-bundles, ISOs, PXE etc. which made it easier to upgrade datacenters by using VUM or vLCM.
• Successfully integrated the metadata schema validation for hypervisor (ESXi) desired state image entities like components/bulletins, add-ons, base-image, solutions, HSPs, vibs, image-profiles etc.

• Worked as Security Dev for Nimble OS. The development involved in the areas of identity and password management and policies, authentication, FIPS, SSO, CORS.
• Designed and developed software using C, C++ and agile methodology through its stages of development life-cycle by implementing new and existing infrastructures to meet feature requirement.

San Jose, California, US

• Tech lead for Clustered Data ONTAP authentication engine, identity management(RBAC), password management, public key infrastructure (PKI), user management infrastructure.
• Designed and implemented centralized authentication mechanism to gain cluster-wide performance by reducing time from secs to msecs with negligible impact on the authentication time.
• Enhanced the user and password management infrastructure to extend support for FIPS-140-2, NIST and DOD compliant hash function for password hashing.
• Enhanced and implemented secure account and password policies for administrative accounts.
• Optimized the cluster management interfaces to manage secure entities like user accounts, passwords, PKI, RBAC role configurations.
• Designed and developed software using C, C++ and agile methodology through its stages of development life-cycle by implementing new and existing infrastructures to meet feature requirement.
