He has led architecture and delivery for large-scale backup and recovery features at Cohesity—designing Nutanix AHV integration, instant mass restore for 10k+ VMs, and a scheduler that prevents source overload—accelerating adapter development from months to weeks. At Splunk he owned telemetry ingestion across diverse environments and delivered both backend and frontend enhancements for infrastructure monitoring, and earlier work at Oracle involved low-level C++ simulator features for SPARC verification. Deepak is an active open-source contributor to Ansible’s networking modules, fixing bugs and adding features like commit labels and config backups for widely used automation tooling. He blends systems-level performance tuning with practical cloud and DevOps experience, and often surfaces non-obvious optimizations that make large distributed operations reliably scalable.
