Experience in design and development of high performance and scalable software systems

Sr. Software Engineer @ From January 2014 to Present (1 year 10 months) San Francisco Bay AreaSenior Software Design Engineer @ I am a part of the team developing the Oracle In-memory Database Option, a column oriented in-memory system built within the row-major RDBMS kernel. The in-memory option offers improved performance on both transactional and analytic queries without compromising on ACID invariants, robustness, recoverability and availability of the RDBMS. I am one of the lead engineers of the project where I designed and developed the module which manages the format, compression level, and the mechanism of data population into the in-memory store of Oracle’s In-memory Database. From December 2012 to January 2014 (1 year 2 months) San Francisco Bay AreaSoftware Design Engineer @ Closely involved and gained expertise in key features of Oracle like Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) compressed tables, Hybrid Columnar Compression (HCC) feature on Exadata, and Oracle In-Memory database. Designed and implemented key features in HCC and OLTP compressed tables which makes them faster and highly scalable. Authored compression algorithms that are widely used in Oracle Exadata. From June 2010 to December 2012 (2 years 7 months) San Francisco Bay AreaSoftware Research Intern @ Developed a platform independent application, iMobEx, in C++ to enhance automation capabilities of SSIT set-up of the 1xEVDO project. iMobex can send different types of traffic like TCP, UDP, VoIP, FTP, and HTTP to automate testing in the High Data Rate (HDR) system. Various other scripts can also be run through the tool. wxWidgets is made use of to achieve platform independence. From June 2009 to August 2009 (3 months) San Diego
