• Worked as a part of the Compute and Config Team in the IT Department of CERN with the Batch and HPC teams on the DevOps and Automation aspects of managing the compute clusters of CERN (~250k CPU cores) which provide the WLCG Tier0, share and HPC computing for the all the experiments and departments at CERN.
• My main project during the Fellowship has been to work on architecting new solutions for the management of the lifecycle and health of our servers (which act as compute nodes for the cluster), which are run on our on-prem OpenStack cloud, provisioned with Puppet, run HTCondor (or Slurm for HPC), and then monitored and maintained using a plethora of tooling build around the system.
• My main contribution has been in introducing Auto-Remediation to our clusters, which uses StackStorm to act on various triggers based on our monitoring and run finely crafted workflows that can attempt to auto-diagnose and repair issues in the system before escalating to human operators. A few of the workflows in production currently are already saving 1000s of man-hours that would have been spent on those procedures, that were otherwise manual earlier. This work has been presented at the HEPiX conference in Umeå, Sweden on 01/11/2022.
• Apart from my primary role, I also serve as a CERN WhiteHat, a WIT mentor, and an official guide.

• I started and joined various early-phase projects to solve problems that seem interesting to me and explore more.
• I was the co-founder of a (now defunct) startup FestaVesta in the event tech space, which gained around 100k users and also had marginal revenue through our collaborations. We started this as a college project, but it became bigger than we asked for.
• I worked with EnergyGrade, a solar startup in India, in developing and prototyping new solutions for rooftop solar in India.
• I also collaborated on a project with EPOD India and Delhi Government to solve the water crisis and its supply chain sources using technology-enabled solutions. One such project currently live involves making new water tanks for last-mile distribution that track water levels and locations to prevent leakage or hijacking.
• In all these experiences, I have worked with people around the globe, to bring new perspectives on different projects. I also took part in various hackathons globally and was often awarded for my ideas and projects.
