Professional Experience

Cloud Software Engineer

June, 2023 - Present

Hewlett Packard Enterprise, San Jose, CA

    1. Serviceability and User Experience:
      • Spearheaded a robust monitoring dashboard, which facilitated real-time visibility into device status and logs, serving over 10,000 customers and managing over 30,000 data elements
      • Key features include real-time device and pod metrics, log aggregation and analysis across hardware, Operating System, backend, UI, and cloud infrastructure, resulting in a 30% decrease in issue resolution time
      • Implemented an in-house device update scheduler, reducing device update wait times by 26%
      • Additionally, provided detailed insights on device setup efficiency, including the number of retries, total time taken to setup the device, and the percentage of first-try successful setups for 4 device types
      • Utilized shipment data and setup data logs to analyze average setup times and pinpoint trends, and anomalies swiftl
    2. Observability, Monitoring and Analytics:
      • Assisted in accelerating the setup process for new users by 6% last quarter by developing observability initiatives for storage devices, including intuitive setup blueprints
      • Provided customers with intuitive data migration solutions, i.e., autonomic replication and Tier1 disaster recovery technology that allows the protection and sharing of data from any application simply, efficiently, and affordably
