My Work

I have mostly worked on Operating Systems internals. My experience includes working on OS/2 kernel and file systems,
Linux kernel internals and Linux RAS tools. For a while, I dabbled with Grid Computing and Virtualization.

I have worked with IBM and Infosys. Currently, I am with VMware working on the VMFS file system.

I have contributed a bit to the Linux kdump project and also to the lkcd project.
