Spearheading innovative design strategies and leading cross-functional teams to deliver cutting-"Edge" technology solutions.

• Design System

As the first and only designer among 200+ engineers, I created a design system (guidelines, patterns, components, typography, error/empty states, Etc.) from the ground up using Clarity Design Framework. This design system connected global development teams on a common design language foundation, which increased the reusability of common patterns, decreased design inconsistencies, and adherence to brand identity, and increased accessibility by 100%. This design system also became the foundation of our product redesign into Angular UI.

• Product Redesign

The acquisition of VeloCloud SD-WAN by VMware brought a product with a rich and functional user interface written in CanJS but with fundamental usability challenges. Every aspect of the user interface, from basic layouts to discoverability to workflows, competed for the user's attention, and over time, the product had become a "feature factory." As the product grew in popularity (earning the number one spot in Gartner's review for several years) and adoption increased, the design flaws became more apparent and painful. In response to this, we (Product Leadership) decided to deconstruct the entire product, feature by feature, to create a less cluttered, more accessible, highly localizable, and easier-to-use product without compromising the fundamental ethos of the product.

The engagement with new and easy-to-use monitoring features reduced service tickets by 50%.

• New vertical - SASE

In August 2021, we introduced a new vertical called "SASE" - Secure Access Service Edge, which added Cloud Web Security and Remote Access to our Network/Connectivity portfolio. I designed this new security offering end-2-end from the ground up. After releasing VMware SASE offerings, we have seen significant solution adoption. Customers who previously relied on our partners or third-party solutions now use our solution natively.

Currently, I am working on designing Advanced Threat Protection for our Edge.

NSX is a network virtualization platform that delivers the operational model of a virtual machine for the network. Virtual networks reproduce the network model in software, allowing complex multi-tier network topologies to be created and provisioned programmatically in seconds. NSX includes a library of logical networking services – logical switches, logical routers, logical firewalls, logical load balancers, logical VPN, QoS, and distributed security.

A self-service interface allows users to create custom combinations of these services in isolated software-based virtual networks that support existing applications without modification or deliver unique requirements for new application workloads. Similar to virtual machines in compute, virtual networks are programmatically provisioned and managed independent of networking hardware. Decoupling from hardware introduces agility, speed and operational efficiency that has transformed data center economics.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Lead the design, implementation, documentation of system architecture from scratch with minimal set of requirements.

• Participate in the full product development life cycles.

• Collaborate with project team members and cross functional product teams to execute product goals.

• Push the envelope in adopting new technologies, best design practices to ensure our products are the best.

• Provide technical leadership to other team members and be a team player.

• Lead design and code reviews with a major focus on performance, scalability and future expansion.

VMware vSphere is the industry’s leading and most reliable virtualization platform. vSphere simplifies IT by separating applications and operating systems (OSs) from the underlying hardware. Your existing applications see dedicated resources, but your servers can be managed as a pool of resources. The

result is that your business runs on a simplified yet resilient IT environment

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Design, Develop and test partner facing VMkernel APIs.

• Design, Develop and test pseudo network drivers

• Analyze and decompose an extremely complicated ESX kernel and design a strategy to test the stack.

• Conduct research on emerging technologies.

• Provide high quality documentation of network solution APIs and devkits to partners for efficient self-enablement

• Work with multiple groups/engineers across sites toward accomplishing the work as one team
