Software Developer 3 — Compute & HPC
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure
June 2022 — Present
Bengaluru, India
  • GPU & HPC Enablement: Developed GPU passthrough, vGPU, and SR-IOV capabilities for PCA/Edge Cloud, enabling on-premises AI/ML and HPC workloads. Built GPU capacity metric service and configured virtnodedevd for PCI device management.
  • Hypervisor Modernization: Migrated VM Agent from monolithic to modular libvirt daemons (virtqemud, virtproxyd, virtnodedevd, virtnetworkd), eliminating single points of failure. Led Python 2→3 migration and OL7→OL8 upgrade, reducing deployment time by 50%.
  • Performance Optimization: Reduced instance boot latency by 67% by cutting network calls from 3 to 1 and eliminating persistence DB dependency at instance-metadata service.
  • Live Migration & HA: Resolved critical cross-version live migration issues between OL7/OL8, ensuring zero-downtime operations for production HPC workloads.
  • Converged Edge Infrastructure: Enabled single-device PCA/Edge Cloud deployments for disconnected field operations with optimized shape selection for compute and GPU resources.
  • FedRAMP Compliance: Migrated hypervisor to non-root operations using sudoers policy, ACLs, and comprehensive certificate management across multi-node deployments.
  • Network & Load Balancing: Configured virtnetworkd for virtual networks. Developed NLB support and instance-pool configuration with attach/detach functionality.
  • Compute Services: Maintained autoscaling, ovm-agent, and instance configuration management. Resolved split-brain issues and implemented workflow model POC for instance launch reliability.
