A mind map showcasing the various projects I have delivered

I designed the following range of use cases for SmartFiles

Data Management

I helped simplify the process for storage administrators to create Views (file servers) or file shares for various storage use cases in SmartFiles.

Data Visibility

I enabled storage administrators to easily monitor the total consumption, growth, and performance of SmartFiles Views across multiple performance metrics, by presenting all of this information in a single, organized dashboard.

Data Tiering

Enabled storage administrators and businesses to reduce costs and optimize efficiency for primary workloads and NAS solutions by providing policies that automatically tier or offload aging data from high-performance NAS to SmartFiles.

Data Continuity

Co-led a disaster recovery solution designed to ensure business continuity by providing continuous application availability and data protection across on-premises and cloud environments.

Insight App

As the designer of the Cohesity Insight app, I ensured that users can easily perform interactive text searches on data stored on the Cohesity DataPlatform. The app supports various file types including office documents, text files, PDFs, and compressed folders of these file types. Users can search Cohesity file shares (Views) as well as backed up objects with ease.
