Hi, I'm Vrinda 👋 I'm a Software Engineer at Dell Technologies, where I build large-scale Kubernetes and Slurm infrastructure for AI/HPC workloads. My work focuses on automating cluster deployment across air-gapped, multi-architecture environments, provisioning 100+ nodes at once, and designing zero-downtime upgrade systems that keep production clusters running through every maintenance window. That instinct to dig into problems has shaped a lot of my journey. It's earned my ideas recognition twice at Dell's ISG Hackathon ("Most Innovative Idea" in 2024, "Judges' Choice" in 2025), and it's why I regularly file and track bug reports upstream on projects like Kubernetes and Pulp whenever I hit edge cases in production. I'm also NASSCOM Women Wizards Rule Tech (W²RT) certified. Along the way, I've realized I enjoy helping other engineers just as much, whether it's sharpening a resume, or understanding how infrastructure and platform systems work under the hood in real production environments. If you’re looking for help on HPC infrastructure automation, interview prep, or transitioning into top tech companies, I’d be happy to help 🙂
