Summary
Omar Zevallos is a principal software engineering manager based in Pittsburgh with a strong track record of delivering distributed storage and cloud services across Microsoft and NetApp. He leads and mentors cross-site teams (currently managing 10 engineers on Azure Arc Container Storage) while maintaining a hands-on focus on automation, test engineering, and tooling—skills honed over a 20+ year engineering career that began with mainframe cryptography and XML systems. Known for building effective teams and shipping high-quality features on schedule, he combines deep systems-level experience (filesystems, storage clusters, HPC caching) with pragmatic automation expertise in Perl, Python, and shell scripting. An MBA plus a CS degree from Carnegie Mellon underline his blend of technical depth and product-minded leadership, and he has a history of creating operational dashboards and frameworks that quietly scale organizational impact.
