needed by the Gen3, Gen2 and Gen1Expanders(Enclosures). Gen3 expander is known as Cobra and Gen2 is known
as Bobcatand Gen1 is known as Yeti.
Contribution: Involved in the design and implemented the expander applications, known as Xtools. Involved in
the Firmware design and the implementation of some of the critical Enhancement requests like zoing, phy
mapping, auto port configuration etc. Contributed heavily in the Firmware coding and application development.
3. ProjectTitle:Triaging of DCSG products
Duration: Mar’ 11 – Jan’ 13
Role:Lead
OS/Environment: RHEL, Windows& VMWARE.
Customers: ALL DCSG customers.
Project Description: This role is called as systems application engineer (SAE) who works as an interface between
customers and development teams. Main objective of this role is to act as a main technical point of contact for all
DCSG(Data Center Solution Group) customers there by reducing the burden on the development teams to support
the products whichare already delivered to customers.
Contribution: Working on all the customer escapes. These are called service requests, for a service request work
flow will be like this - Initial analysis of the logs, asking the customers for the right log and if needed recreating the
issue locally and find out the root cause of the issue. If the issue found to be a genuine issue then proposing the fix
and drive the development to an official release of the fix through a point release. By working on many SRs like
this, giving valuable feedbacks to architecture development and test teams for the robust design of the upcoming
products based on the customer feedbacks. Closed many SR’s with very less TAT(Turnaroundtime) and Customer
satisfaction.
4. ProjectTitle: DDTOOLS &StorelibFrameworkforOptimumsSAS Drives
Duration: Jan’ 10 – June’10
Role:ProjectLead
OS/Environment: RHEL(5.8,6.0.6.1, 6.2), Windows(2003,2008,2012),VMWARE.
Customers: Oracle,facebook&IBM.
ProjectDescription:
This project intention is to develop the application frame work in ddtools and Storelib for SAS drives. All the
features that were supported for SATA drives has to be implemented for SAS drives also. This combined
framework for SATA and SAS drives is maintained in ddtools and storelib libraries. Majorly ddtools are cli based
application where asstorelib is used by GUI’s like MSM(Mega Raid Storage Manager).

3. Contribution: Took the complete ownership of the project. Prepared scoping document which tells the
implementation details and man power required to complete this project. Most important and critical features are
implemented by me.
5. ProjectTitle: EnhancementsandDefectsfixesonWarpDriveCards
Duration: Jan’09 to Dec’09
Role:ModuleOwner
OS/Environment: RHEL(5.8,6.0.6.1, 6.2), Windows(2003,2008,2012), Fedora,CentOS, Ubuntu.
Customers: Oracle, facebook & IBM.
Project Description: This project intention is to implement many Enhancement requests(ER’s) that comes either
from our customers or decided by us. And also to fix defects that raised by test team (or sometimes defects found
by customers which are treated as very high priority) form our different releases. In tools release, we follow the
process of releasing in phases(1 to 15 till now) to our customers. We work on wide range of WarpDrive cards
which are known as Nytro WarpDrive. WD Cards that we support are 6200,6202,6203,6301 and 6204 with various
combinations of DFF’s such as SLC, MLC and eMLC.
Contribution: I hold the ownership for two firmware utilities such as DDtools (DDCLI,DDOEMCLI&DDMFGCLI)
and StorelibeIR2. These utilities act as interface to the GUI and Firmware. In some cases these utilities directly
interact with the driver by passing firmware calls. With the help these tools we can do many Raid Actions like
creating a volume, deleting a volume, format, over provisioning, list and health etc. These utilities are very critical
and hold lot of importance in the storage applications.
