About Akash R Vasishta

I am a Software Engineer by profession and a Computer Engineer by passion. During the day, I develop control and management plane software for a distributed data store - Cisco HyperFlex and during the night I pick my brain for ideas that don\'t let me sleep. In my free time I hit the gym or write stuff on the internet about tech.Being involved in a lot of embedded systems projects in my Bachelors gave me the impetus to focus on Distributed Systems and Systems Engineering for my Masters at University of Florida. Currently, I find myself in the midst of design/code discussions on distributed systems, microservices, Kubernetes, Java, Go and Zookeeper on a daily basis.I have always been a maker at heart, building exciting stuff. Be it hardware hacks or large scale software projects, I like to learn and build things. Glad to connect with like minded people.Website - https://rvakash.comResume - https://tinyurl.com/ycyvs2vnMy last article on medium - https://medium.com/@rvakash/how-to-build-a-fault-tolerant-distributed-filesystem-level-1-30c01e1c88f5
