About Me

I am Vinu, a Principal Systems Development Engineer with 10+ years of experience in Storage Engineering, Linux, Cloud Technologies, and Networking. Over the years, I have specialized in building, sustaining, and troubleshooting large-scale NAS and SAN storage infrastructures, working across platforms such as Dell PowerScale (Isilon), EqualLogic, Compellent, NetApp, and EMC VNX.

My expertise spans deep-dive debugging, RCA analysis, performance tuning, and data migrations with proven success in reducing downtime, improving test efficiency, and delivering fixes that consistently achieve 85%+ C-SAT scores. Alongside strong Storage Technology skills in NAS and SAN Storage, I bring hands-on knowledge of cloud platforms such as Dell ECS and AWS, Linux Bash scripting, TCP/IP Networking complemented by ITIL & Agile driven methodologies.

Outside of work, I am usually outdoors, hiking, motorcycling long distances, or playing soccer. And when I’m indoors, I’m busy staying curious about new tech around me, sometimes just to prove I can break things faster than I fix them ;)
