Shefeek Jinnah

Joined shortly before ThoughtSpot's acquisition of Mode Analytics as the first Staff Engineer in the India office. Helped establish the local engineering presence and led the development of several backend services from the ground up.

Currently managing 14 microservices that handle over 1 million SQL queries daily, ensuring high availability, performance, and scalability across the analytics platform.

Played a core role in building Analyst Studio—ThoughtSpot’s next-generation SQL-based analytics interface—by integrating Mode’s notebook-style workflows into the ThoughtSpot ecosystem and delivering a seamless experience for data analysts.

• I worked as the tech lead for a mission-critical project at OCI, responsible for building and deploying all the services that power Oracle Cloud. The system supported around 3,000 services and handled over 40,000 builds per day, serving as the backbone of Oracle’s internal service delivery infrastructure.
• As part of my responsibilities, I have extensively worked on providing a system for developing multi-architecture Docker images and manifests. This expertise has enabled me to facilitate shape-agnostic deployments, optimizing the flexibility and scalability of the project's infrastructure.

• As a Solution Architect, I have been instrumental in leading a critical project focused on seamless customer integration with VMware Kubernetes. One of my key achievements in this role has been the design of robust backend platform services for a Continuous Validation Pipeline (CvaaS). This platform empowers independent software vendors to validate their Kubernetes applications within the vSphere Kubernetes (Tanzu) platform.
• Leading the implementation team, I successfully delivered this service with a strong emphasis on quality.
• During the course of this project, I played a pivotal role in fostering cross-business unit collaboration within the company. This collaboration was crucial in securing the project's success. Additionally, I spearheaded the implementation of multiple proof-of-concept (PoC) initiatives centered around Kubernetes. These PoCs showcased innovative solutions that have the potential to assist customers in seamlessly adopting VMware's Kubernetes offerings.
• In terms of technologies, my expertise extends to Python, Java, Kubernetes, Dockers, and Containers. These technologies have been integral to the successful implementation and execution of the project.
• You can learn more about the project and its impact on the VMware ISV ecosystem in this blog post: [VMware Continuous Automated Validation for ISV Ecosystem Solutions](https://tanzu.vmware.com/content/blog/vmwarecontinuous-automated-validation-isv-ecosystem-solutions).

• In my role, I have taken on the responsibility of designing and developing multiple certification services from the ground up for VMware. These services include certifications for NSX-V, NSX-T, and Daemon Management for ESXi.
• Furthermore, I have been involved in designing and implementing various features for the existing certification suites across the VMware vSphere portfolio.
• One of my notable achievements was the demonstration of a proof of concept (PoC) that showcased the power of infrastructure-as-code using Terraform. This PoC enabled the deployment of a self-certification framework, providing an efficient and scalable solution. Subsequently, this concept was embraced and integrated into the certification suite as an official offering.
• During my tenure, I have also handled customer issues that arise during the certification process. By addressing these challenges and ensuring prompt resolutions, I have contributed to enhancing the overall customer experience.
• In terms of technologies, I possess expertise in Python, Java, and Terraform. These tools and languages have been instrumental in the successful design, development, and deployment of the certification services and features within VMware.

• As the first member of the development team, I took on the responsibility of full stack development and successfully delivered the initial version of the management software. The user interface (UI) was developed using ReactJS, while the backend was built using Java.
• The focus of the project was to create a management system for Evolved Packet Core (EPC), which enables the provision of converged voice and data services on a 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) network. To achieve this, I designed and implemented several features, including NFV (Network Function Virtualization) discovery, performance data collection and visualization, software management, fault handling, and more.
• One significant contribution was the implementation of a data visualization module within the EMS (Element Management System). This module effectively collected data from various sources such as vSphere, KVM, and OpenStack, providing valuable insights and enhancing the overall management capabilities of the system.
• Throughout the development process, I leveraged Java and ReactJS as the primary technologies. These tools enabled me to build robust and efficient solutions, ensuring the successful delivery of the management software.

• As one of the early members of a startup company, I had the opportunity to contribute to the design and implementation of various features from the ground up. Specifically, I played a key role in developing multiple features within the EMS (Element Management System) for LTE networks.
• Some of the notable features I worked on include: EnodeB PreProvision & Configuration, Notification Suppression, Self-Organized Networks, and EnodeB Profiles.
• Throughout these endeavors, I collaborated with the team to ensure the successful implementation of these features. This experience as an early member of the startup company provided me with valuable hands-on experience in designing and building innovative solutions for LTE networks within the EMS.

Contributed to core OMEA EMS features like Linux/Flex porting and LDAP performance tuning; worked onsite in Ottawa to deliver a critical client-driven feature in collaboration.
Focused on stability, performance, and reliability across network element management.
