• Apart from managing medium sized team, Gaurav is now also involved in various technical aspects as well. He is playing key role in multiple projects across various domains at different layers of Nutanix sub-system. Right starting from design, he is involved in managing different pieces among the team, making sure about the quality of code get finally comes out from them.
• He is also involved in substantial amount of implementation along with his peers. In addition to that maintaining the good quality code , quality pipeline integration are some of things he is spending time now a days.

• Gaurav, has learned a lot of technical expertise in this role. He worked across domains at various layers in Nutanix sub system. While doing that he make sure of the code quality and maintainability. Also mentor his peers on the same. Few of projects of interest are:
• Storage Layer:
• Improvise the performance and efficiency of existing model, which becomes CPU bottle-necked in certain operations. Did couple of tweaks around the architecture to make it smooth and CPU scheduling friendly.
• Caching Layer:
• Projects like Dynamic compression within cache, which is to accommodate more in memory cache, eventually results in better performance of the system
• Bunch of language specific tweaks make the code slimmer and efficient during run time.
• Pre-fill the cache in case of system(critical/non-critical) failures, so that user faces NO-DOWNTIME in case of any failures.
• Control Plane:
• Introduced a rate limiter, way to limit the rate of API on incoming services.
• Load Balancing of API load on similar instances of stateless services running in system.
• Stateless Authentication of API.
• Config management in gateway service, without any downtime
• Various lockless level stats implementation, none of the thread waits on other for these non-critical updates.

• With the increasing complexity and variations in the hardware architecture it becomes very evident to design the system in a manner which not only work but also provide optimal performance. Things become more interesting when the workload on the system increases having limited resource available. Similar kind of issue have been tackled by me here in Nutanix. I mainly work on various performance improving tasks. Involved in In-Memory cache design, reviewing & implementation.
• Coding: Primary languages are C++ and Java.
