About

Experienced Software Engineer and Former Technical Lead. Currently working with a dynamic team in the development and maintenance of the Ceph Dashboard, a crucial component of the Ceph, a Software Defined Storage Solution. Skilled in both Angular and Python, I've been managing the frontend and backend aspects of the dashboard, including the maintenance of the Ceph RESTful APIs for the past 4 years. My responsibilities extend to overseeing the Ceph Dashboard's open-source project, as well as its enterprise versions, IBM Storage Ceph, and Red Hat Ceph Storage, catering to the needs of diverse enterprise customers. Previously, I contributed to the open-source project Rook, specializing in storage orchestration and operator capabilities for Kubernetes, with a foundation in Ceph storage technology.
