About Sneha Gullapalli

Principal Software Engineer at Dell Technologies specializing in large-scale distributed systems, observability, and cloud-native architecture. I currently work on Dell Elastic Cloud Storage (Object Scale), building telemetry-driven tools that power cluster monitoring, scalability, and operational intelligence across multi-node environments.With a Master’s in Computer Science from Kansas State University, I began my journey in machine learning research at the KDD Lab, publishing work in information extraction and exploring neural network–based predictive modeling. That foundation continues to shape my systems thinking today blending data, reliability, and performance at scale.My passion lies in designing resilient, high-impact systems that operate in production at scale. I thrive at the intersection of distributed architecture, microservices, and observability.building platforms that are not only scalable, but measurable and intelligent.Beyond engineering, I am deeply committed to mentorship and technical leadership. I actively mentor junior engineers and students, helping them grow in system design, backend engineering, and research directionI aspire to contribute meaningfully to the evolution of large-scale cloud systems and AI-driven infrastructure, while growing into a technology leader who builds both impactful systems and empowered 2017 Publication - On Cryptocurrency Price Prediction - https://krex.k-state.edu/bitstream/handle/2097/38867/SnehaGullapalli2018.pdf?sequence=1 & isAllowed=y
