R & D Engineer 5

Dec 2023 – Present · 2 yrs 3 mos · Bangalore Urban, Karnataka, India · On-site

Currently working on Cloud Native Storage for Kubernetes workload on vCenter.
Worked on VMware Virtual Volumes (vVOLs) and external storage integration. My work has been instrumental in driving the adoption of vVOLs, resulting in a 5x increase in usage. I lead initiatives to enhance the vVOL control path resiliency, security, and performance, ensuring that VMware workloads run efficiently and securely.
Key contributions include:
VASA 5: Authored the specification to resolve certificate issues and developed essential security constructs for the VASA Provider services.
vVOL Control Path: Own the resiliency, security, and performance aspects of the vVOL control path, driving continuous improvements to optimize its functionality.
vVOL Scale Simulator: Spearheaded the development of the vVOL Scale Simulator, enabling storage partners to evaluate and benchmark the performance of VMware workloads. Led the project from concept through to its successful completion.
TLS Protocol: Contributed to the implementation of TLS for the VASA protocol to ensure secure communication across VMware environments.
