Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSarma Pydipally is a Senior Developer Systems Engineer with a deep, hands-on database career spanning dBase3+ in 1994 to modern distributed systems like Apache Cassandra and DataStax Enterprise. He has led complex migrations and consolidations—most notably moving decade-old Oracle instances into a 4-node RAC with under 60 minutes downtime and managing Exadata systems up to 81TB. Equally comfortable with Oracle RAC/GG/DG and Cassandra/Spark, he also contributes to open source (a Jira fix included in Cassandra 4.0 RC2) and publishes tooling for Python drivers on GitHub. Sarma combines infrastructure modernization skills (OS and JVM upgrades, hardware/DC moves) with observability tooling experience, having authored a popular Grafana dashboard. A regular mentor and workshop instructor, he translates deep operational knowledge into teachable material and consulting engagements. Based in Herndon, VA, he continues to focus on resilient, low-downtime database architectures and cross-platform migration strategies.
