Elastic Block Storage:

• Designed and maintained high-performance EC2/EBS lifecycle management tooling in Golang, improving automation of compute and storage operations.
• Developed system-level daemons in C to collect block I/O metrics and interface with the Linux kernel for performance insights.
• Enhanced GDB scripts to streamline core dump analysis, reducing debugging effort by~40% and accelerating root-cause identification for EBS Client software crashes.
• Implemented file disk volume support in C-based EBS Client software by designing COAP-based APIs for disk management, lifecycle operations, and secure attachment/detachment, enabling ~30% faster EC2 lab instance bring-up.
• Contributed to the Golang-based Continuous Testing Services (CTS) framework to validate EC2 instances and software releases with zero manual intervention, supporting EC2-wide adoption.
• Implemented multiple CTS payloads (e.g., EbsReboot, EbsPeakPerformance, EbsStress, EbsMetrics, EbsMaxVolume, EbsModify) to benchmark and validate Amazon EBS capabilities, ensuring performance and reliability.
• Led EBS software bring-ups on new AWS Nitro cards, collaborating with hardware teams to implement new capabilities, while maintaining backward compatibility, supporting public launches of EC2 instance families.
• Debugged low-level storage stack issues using tools such as perf, iotop, iostat, tcpdump, and improved observability across systems.
• Served as EBS point-of-contact for instance qualifications, executing test plans for CMR6i, CMR7i, CMR7a, CMR7g, CMR8i, CMR8g, contributing to their successful GA launches.
• Proposed and drove a 'one-click platform qualification' process with infrastructure teams, significantly reducing time-to-launch for EC2 platforms.
• Participated in design reviews, improved code quality standards, and mentored new engineers within the team.
