Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSharmin Choksey is a Technical Leader at Cisco with 11+ years driving cloud, virtualization, and container orchestration initiatives from OpenStack to Cisco Intersight Kubernetes Service. She combines deep hands-on engineering (Go, Python, C/C++, Java, Bash) with systems design experience across SDN/ACI, NVF, Ceph storage and automated Day‑Zero/Day‑Two operations. Her work spans building multi-tenant IaaS/PaaS platforms, identity and policy integrations for large-scale clouds, and automation for curated Kubernetes cluster lifecycle management. Known for pragmatic platform extensions and upstream contributions—she has patched and extended OpenStack components and enabled IPv6 at provider scale—Sharmin blends product-minded architecture with developer tooling like GitOps, Ansible and containerized orchestration. Based in San Jose, she’s equally comfortable debugging low-level networking issues and leading integrations across storage, bare‑metal and cloud orchestration stacks. Her background in finance and formal software engineering training gives her a practical, audit‑friendly approach to building secure, scalable infrastructure.
