Dell EMC ECS Technical Support Engineer
January 2024 – Present
As a Technical Support Engineer, I ensure enterprise storage environments—both on-premises and hybrid cloud—operate securely, reliably, and efficiently
- End-to-End ECS Management: I oversee Dell EMC ECS deployments across hybrid and on-prem setups, ensuring everything from configuration to uptime is handled with precision.
- 24/7 Monitoring & Troubleshooting: Using tools like Lightning and the ECS GUI, I keep a constant eye on system health. When issues arise, I dive in with PuTTY and CLI to troubleshoot and resolve them fast.
- Hands-On Hardware Support: I’ve replaced everything from SSDs and disks to PSUs and DIMMs, and I’ve recovered remote nodes to restore functionality without delay.
- Security-First Approach: I implement encryption at rest, secure replication, and strict access controls to protect sensitive data and meet compliance standards.
- Client-Facing Communication: I work directly with major clients—including JPMorgan Chase, Barclays, Mastercard, Infosys, SAP, and more—to provide incident updates, coordinate downtime, and ensure transparency.
- Lifecycle & Version Management: I lead upgrades for service consoles and xDoctor tools, keeping systems current and optimized.
- Performance & Capacity Tuning: I analyze usage trends and alert thresholds to fine-tune performance and plan for future capacity needs.
- Proactive Uptime Strategy: My approach combines diagnostics, remote support, and early intervention to maintain high availability and prevent disruptions.
- Documentation & Knowledge Sharing: I create clear, actionable technical documentation and contribute to internal knowledge bases to support team learning.
- Scaling Infrastructure: I assist with system expansions, node additions, and rebalancing operations to help clients grow without compromising performance.
