Enterprise Storage Architect & Resilience Engineer

Sachin is the engineer enterprises trust to guarantee their data survives — available, protected, and recoverable — through the migrations, upgrades, and failures that would otherwise take research or production down.

Senior Storage & Infrastructure Engineer with a decade of NetApp and multi-vendor depth across pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, EdTech, and aviation — the regulated, high-stakes environments where data availability directly determines whether research runs and production ships. He owns the layer most of a business never sees until it fails: the enterprise storage foundation, the data-protection and disaster-recovery posture that answers the board's real question — *can we recover, and how fast?* — and the automation and runbooks that make it all survive team turnover. His signature is bringing order to complex estates: diagnose the systematic issue before treating the symptom, execute ONTAP migrations on zero-downtime runbooks, and leave every environment measurably more automated, more monitored, and more recoverable than he found it. Deep specialist expertise that takes years, not months, to build — and can't be Googled when a filer is down at 2am.

Storage reliability is an operational discipline, not a hardware property — and recoverability is the deliverable, not the backup job.
