Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRaunak Kumar is a Senior Staff Engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area with eight years of professional experience building storage and cloud-native data management systems. He specializes in systems programming across Java, Golang, C/C++, and Python, and has deep domain expertise in container storage interfaces, backup/replication solutions, and enterprise SAN/NVMe storage. At HPE he focuses on cloud backup and recovery services, and at Nimble Storage he architected multi-platform CSI drivers, Velero snapshotters, OpenShift operators, and CI/CD for upstream OpenStack integrations. His background at Cisco gave him low-level networking and high-availability control-plane experience, enabling him to bridge hardware-centric storage with modern cloud orchestration. Raunak is pragmatic about production readiness—he balances rapid proof-of-concept work for customers with long-term scalability fixes (e.g., improving legacy plugin scalability and automating device anomaly recovery). He holds a B.Tech in Computer Science and a Master’s from Stony Brook University, bringing both academic grounding and hands-on systems engineering.
