Secondary skills: Web Development, Data Analysis & Visualization, & Developer Operations Engineering

Traceback:

• Currently one of the team leads for Red Hat product - Cloudforms performance engineering, handling horizontal and vertical scaling across various cloud provider integrations - RHV, OpenShift and vSphere. Also running build to build analysis for multiple workload scenarios, longevity tests for edge cases, UI performance optimizations and handling priority customer performance issues in close coordination with Cloudforms engineering team.
• Recently, member of the team responsible for giving recommendations around the Red Hat product - Satellite’s performance, at scale and co-authored a perf brief on Satellite 6.2.
• I also cover data processing, middlewares, shell scripting, containerization, ETL, and visualizations, to pinpoint issues, using data from telemetry, configurations and logs.

About:
Archit Sharma is a Performance Engineer (R&D) as well as a Software Developer who works at Red Hat and is leading a team that covers scalability of Cloudforms (ManageIQ) with Openshift/Openstack/vSphere, infrastructure automation/planning, knowledge-base driven product configuration recommendations, predictive modeling/analysis over performance data. All in all, he loves to derive insights from data generated by monitoring pipelines [Telemetry, Logs, Configs]. He has contributions to various open source projects, including Grafana, sos-report, scikit-learn (trying!) and has developed a couple of his own, like Sarjitsu (for analyzing SAR data) and Perf Script Postprocessor (for KVM BlockIO events' latency analysis). His current contributions to github/redhat-performance/cfme-performance include workloads, middlewares and ansible scripts for infrastructure orchestration around ManageIQ. He has also contributed to Red Hat's in-house projects like Pbench, satellite-performance, SA tools, Multi-VM/Client MariaDB benchmarking with sysbench for different Async I/O modes, and so on.. (github/redhat-performance and github/distributed-system-analysis). Archit has presented/participated at various conferences like DevConf'16 (Czech Republic), Red Hat Summit'15 (Boston), PyCon and KDD CoDS - ACM. Until recently, he was also a hackathon junkie and has attended Docker Global Hackathon [Bangalore, state winner x 2], CERN Webfest [first in Data Visualization], DoraHacks [China - remote, runner up] and Devsprint [India, PyCon'15]. He was also a summer student at CERN OpenLab (Geneva) and has co-organized several Python, Linux, DevOps and Docker local meetups.
