Work History

IBM

01.2023 - Current

Working on some critical long time pending bugs.
Worked on the enhancement of the code base to make it compatible across each and every S3 compatible test-suites. AWS S3 and Snowflake are the ones that I worked for.
Worked in the Multisite area of Ceph RGW. BI Log trimming, Bucket resharding and core code problems.
Independently creating the whole files along with setting up the file structure so as to automate the tests.
Found and fixed a RegEx issue which considered an URL as malformed and actually was blocking and failing all the commands used for executing bucket notifications.
Implemented a strategy for reducing the unused CPU cycles and making it efficient by just deleting the idle processes in the system.

Red Hat

07.2020 - 12.2022

Kicked off with the long time pending integrations which included integrating some third-party tools like Kafka, RabbitMQ, Keycloak into Ceph. Kafka being the event streaming platform the automation was being a challenge but the knowledge gained while automating Keycloak through scripting helped me do this in a easier way.
Used Minio Warp which is a S3 benchmarking tool and tried to perform some workload tests on it to obtain the related information.
Helped the team by mentoring and hiring interns. Guided them through the basics and helped them configuring the code base as being the first point of contact for any doubts.
Led the Integration testing development area in and across the team.
Refactored legacy codebase for improved maintainability, paving the way for easier future updates.
Resolved a major cleanup bug which was faced after integrating Kafka service which continuously kept logging the outputs without waiting for the process to exit. This was leading to memory issues in the automation test framework.
Implemented effective debugging strategies, resulting in fewer software defects and increased reliability.

Red Hat Inc.

Was trained to be self dependent in debugging.
Wrote developer side's test cases for the API's.
Created bash scripts in order to pre-check the commands to be implemented in test cases.
Explored and used the test environment for real time test checking.
Contributed in the betterment of the documents used by the community.
Developed a knowledge of the flow of how any code gets executed in the test environment.
