Krishnanand Thommandra is a seasoned software engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience building low-level systems across storage, networking, firmware and distributed platforms. He has driven end-to-end features and platform integrations at companies like Arista and EMC, including storage layers over ScyllaDB, multi-rack cluster management, and RAS-focused monitoring frameworks. Equally comfortable in C, C++ and Python, he brings deep expertise in device drivers, iSCSI/TOE, UEFI UNDI, Linux kernel work and platform SW–FW interfaces. Known for strong troubleshooting chops, he has repeatedly root-caused complex multi-site production faults and owned critical developer infrastructure such as on-prem Kubernetes and Perforce. He pairs meticulous documentation and mentoring with pragmatic leadership, having led small teams and cross-site OEM collaborations. A quick learner with a knack for connecting system-level insights to developer tooling, he often bridges firmware-to-cloud gaps that others miss.
