1. Lead the integration of SaltStack in vRA to enable manage software lifecycle on machines provisioned via vRA.
2. Developed port-forwarding through vRA by allowing NAT rules to be specified on network components connected to vSphere VM and NSX Load Balancers.
3. A lead contributor to the open-source project that enables integration between Terraform and VMware vRealize Automation (vRA) which allows Terraform users to request and provision vRA IaaS resources such as machine, network, load-balancer, along with initial setup of cloud accounts, zones, and projects across multiple public and private clouds.
4. Mentored a summer intern to develop an open source Visual Studio Code extension to author vRA blueprints in VS code and create and manage vRA (on-prem and cloud) deployments helping boost adoption of vRA.

An Open-source VMware Terraform provider for vRealize Automation (vRA) 7
1. Developed a self-contained deployable integration between Terraform and vRA 7 which allows Terraform users to provision and update infrastructure on private or public cloud. This enables developers to quickly provision infrastructure and adopt vRA without worrying about the complex UI and APIs of vRA 7
2. UI development for various features in vRA like quick setup to guide the users through infrastructure configuration. This includes adding cloud accounts, creating cloud-zones, projects, network and storage profiles, thereby, laying the foundation for infrastructure provisioning and management.
