Sep 1995 – May 2006 · 10 yrs 8 mos

• Worked on performance oriented feature development for Adaptive Server Enterprise the flagship database product of Sybase.
• Responsible for leading performance, scalability analysis, design and development of various performance-oriented features. Lead TPC-C benchmark efforts, dealt with escalations, wrote whitepapers and was a regular presenter at the user group conferences. Some of the significant projects are:
• ​* Risk Analytics Platform using ASE as In-Memory database cache:
• This is an analytics platform for the Wall Street customers needing very high transaction throughput. Proposed and demonstrated the use of ASE as In-Memory database cache to achieve performance close to the requirements. Innovated several optimizations specific to the database log and implemented a new ‘delayed commit’ feature in ASE 15.0. Designed a new form of index, “virtual hash clustered index” to meet the performance requirements.
• Automatic update statistics
• Accurate and current statistics is a key requirement for the query optimizer. However running update statistics is an expensive operation. Lead the implementation to identifywhen statistics needs updating and automate statistics update.
• Partitioning support in Sybase ASE
• Contributed to the design and implementation of partitioning support in Sybase ASE. Lead a project to identify gaps in the ASE diagnostic paradigm and resolve the same.
• Performance features delivered
• ➢ 6x speedup for Database management operations
• ➢ 10x speedup for Device management operations
• ➢ 2x speedup for Bulk data migration
• Sybmigrate
• Lead the design and development of a product to support data migration across ASE installations.
• QuaSR
• Part of the team that built the quality infrastructure at Sybase and later went on to create and manage a team of 6 senior quality engineers for developing complex database applications to validate the various usage scenarios for the Sybase database.
