Karthik Mynam

Edge Technology Group, Akamai, USA

As a Lead Software Engineer, contributed to the design and development of essential monitoring and reporting services for the CDN infrastructure consisting of over 400K+ nodes handling 30% global internet traffic. One of my key achievements was implementing a write-back cache, which greatly improved resource monitoring. Through this cache, the ingestion rate of reports increased by 30% and the number of dropped reports reduced by 99%. This improvement had a direct impact on resource monitoring and server utilization, enhancing them by 30%. Additionally, I conducted experiments aimed at improving the scalability and performance of the system.

Dell EMC, USA

As a lead engineer for Dell EMC storage devices, I played a crucial role in designing and developing various software components. One of my key contributions was co-designing and developing a virtual page driver and write-back block cache driver for an object-based file system.

I also led efforts to deliver required performance numbers based on business needs. This involved conducting workload modeling, performance studies, optimization, and analysis to provide valuable recommendations for enhancing device performance. Additionally, I co-led an innovative procedure by prototyping delta compression algorithms, utilizing similarity search techniques such as min-hash and locality-sensitive hashing (patented)

Furthermore, I contributed to reducing device integration costs and improving the end-user experience by designing and developing Atmos GeoDrive, an exclusive equivalent of Dropbox for EMC Atmos Object Storage devices. This solution helped streamline device integration processes and enhance user accessibility to the storage system.

Lastly, I collaborated with cross-functional teams on the design, development, and integration of the next-generation Centera, an object storage solution, with EMC's unified storage architecture/platform. This collaboration aimed to enhance device integration efficiency and improve the end-user experience.
