About Pushpendra Kumar

As a dedicated Cloud Software Development Engineer at Intel, I specialize in optimizing the power and performance of cloud infrastructures and next-generation processors. My journey at Intel began as a Graduate Technical Intern, where I honed my skills in system optimization and virtualization technologies. I quickly transitioned to a full-time role, where I\'ve made significant strides in enhancing the performance of critical workloads, leading to substantial improvements in both efficiency and user experience. I am very passionate and excited for challenges and new opportunities, having very good problem solving and in depth system debugging skill.My passion for innovation is reflected in my contributions to Intel\'s patent portfolio, with inventions that improve webserver functionality and hardware queuing management.With a Master\'s degree in Computer Science (Information Security) from MNNIT and a strong foundation in algorithms, cloud computing, and data structures, I am well-equipped to tackle complex challenges in the tech industry. My skills in debugging, benchmarking, and workload optimization are complemented by hands-on experience with tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Grafana, and a suite of virtualization technologies.As I continue to push the boundaries of what\'s possible in cloud software development, I am always on the lookout for new opportunities to collaborate, innovate, and drive technological progress. There\'s certainly yet more to learn, yet more problems to solve, and yet more to build. And for this, I am very grateful.Specialties: Power and Performance Engineering Debugging, Analysis, Benchmarking Workload Optimisation Workloads - SPEC, DCPerf, Linpack, MLC, WordPress, HammerDB, FIO, DPDK etc. Virtualization Technologies (VDI, ESXi, QEMU, DPDK) Containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) Microservices Monitoring (Grafana) Operating Systems (Linux) Tools (Perf, Wireshark, git, gdb, VTune) Programming (C, C++, Python, Go, Bash) Engaging with Customers and solving issues Automation (Ansible, Bash, Python) Expertise in system level optimization and tuning platform knobs best suited for workloads Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Content Delivery Network (CDN) VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) Optimization for VMware and XEN
