Palo Alto, California
* Roles: Architect, Technical Lead, Master of Details
* Product: vRealize Operations (ops management for hybrid clouds)
* Tech Lead for a team of about 7 engineers ranging from MTS to Staff levels on a re-architecture of the capacity and workload placement engines with simplified user-defined goals and constraints to leverage a new proprietary online statistical time series prediction engine based on ARIMA/ARMA, FFT/PSD, linear regression, plateau and change point detection techniques. The re-architecture facilitates faster customer time-to-value (TTV) as well as reduced OPEX from lights-out automation through near real-time predictive capacity planning and workload placement to avoid forecasted resource contention from localized capacity shortfall and concurrent workload peaks.
* The product is a multi-VM distributed system backed by Gemfire/Geode (distributed memory cache, scatter-gather, task sharding), Cassandra (replication/KV/HA/AP), PostgreSQL (indexes, lookups, relational data), and a proprietary sharded time series database (metric, time, value).

Palo Alto, California
* Roles: Development Manager, Technical Lead, Master of Details
* Products: vRealize Operations (ops management for hybrid clouds)
* Coached, managed and led a large team of about 20 engineers ranging from MTS to Staff levels to deliver company's first product feature that automates VM migrations across clusters based on user-defined policies to alleviate and avoid localized capacity shortfalls and increased resource contention from changing VM behaviors.
* Crisis Leadership: Leveraged daily scrums to keep the team focused on what is important in the face of fast changing requirements and maintained team morale in the face of tight deadlines.

* Roles: Development Manager, Product Release Owner, Reviewer (Architecture, Design)
* Products: vCenter Operations; vCenter CapacityIQ
* Managed and led a team of 8 engineers within a greater team of more than 150 international development & quality engineers and managers.
* Established the process to build, install and upgrade the company's first product delivered as multiple VMs from which other products emulate and follow.
* Steered the technical direction of the company's first set of suite licensed products across multiple business units and functional groups (engineering, marketing, packaging, licensing, entitlement, audit, IT) towards a pragmatic and cost effective model.
* Engaged in product security hardening and adaptations of the product to meet government standards within the US and for export outside of the US.
* Responsible for the team that ensured the product meets scale and performance goals.
* Managed and coached the team that delivered a next-generation generic capacity management platform facilitating quicker time-to-market enhancements to the product and allowing partners to further extend the product's capacity management to adjacent domains within the greater virtualized infrastructure ecosystem.
* As a Product Release Owner for one of the major product releases, led and coordinated the international development teams' effort from 150+ engineers to deliver a coherent release facilitated through scrum of scrums amongst technical leads. Provided leadership and low-level technical decisions to unblock teams that stayed true to the goals of the release.

* Roles: Component Lead, Design & Code Reviewer, Bug Diagnosis
* Products: vCenter CapacityIQ; Guided Consolidation; Capacity Planner
* Enhanced PerfMon data collection to expand time coverage through data interpolation at negligible cost to the monitored remote machine.
* Led the re-architecture and enhancement of the VB6 Collector to C# involving engineering teams in Bulgaria, Pune and Palo Alto facilitating deeper integration with other products.
* Identified, owned and corrected late-breaking and critical cross-cutting time zone related data correctness issues — avoided product release schedule slippage.
* Implemented company's first in-place upgrade process for a product delivered as a VM facilitating much easier upgrade user experience without any third party installer dependency.
