The performance was characterised by upgrading 4.11 Kernel through various paging optimisation patches. Results confirmed the hypothesis that with 4.11 with swap optimisation patches, results in significant performance improvement. - Pmbench was also executed with IMDT software and compared against Linux Kernel swap. - Validated IMDT installation guide. Discovered bugs and followed them through fixes. ### Student Worker @ University of Southern California Jan 2016 – Jan 2017 | Los Angeles ### Software Engineer @ Accenture Jan 2013 – Jan 2015 | Bangalore Urban, Karnataka, India ▪ Participate in performance requirement gathering meetings with design and development teams. ▪ Develop Performance load scripts with HP Virtual User Generator using Java 8 & PERL Scripts. ▪ Executing Load tests with HP Load runner and monitoring the Client-side metrics ▪ Monitoring the System Performance during test execution through tools like Introscope/DNT and analyzing the application parameters in depth in case of any performance issues ▪ Triaging the Performance Engineering issues with Development Teams. ▪ Single point of contact for application, Performance Test environment and Engineering. ▪ Co-ordinate Development/testing activities with the other team for Scripting and Execution. ### Intern @ Intel Corporation Jan 2010 – Jan 2012 ▪ Intel Data Center, Configuration and incident management for handling engineering team requests related to Data Storage (NAS), NIS (Network Information System), DSM (Distributed System Management) and Netbatch within SLA. ▪ To proactively monitor the computing environment and Intel Datacenter Alert Management to Keep the Environment Stable and Prevent MI (Major Incident) and MUO (Multiple User Outage). ▪ Configuration and management of UNIX Environment & Batch process. ▪ Developed/Debugged Perl scripts for internal usage for complex routine processes and automation. ## Education ### Master of Science (MS) in Computer Science University of Southern California Jan 2015 – Jan 2017 ### Building Essential Leadership Skills(BELS) in Corporate Leadership Crotonville Alumni Jan 2019 – Jan 2019 ### B.E computer science in Computer Science New Horizon College Of Engineering Jan 2008 – Jan 2012 ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/arjun-d-sureshbabu-6544265a --- Source: https://flows.cv/arjundsureshbabu JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/arjundsureshbabu/resume.json Last updated: 2026-03-22
