RAVI BABU DASARI

Ravi Babu Dasari is a software engineering leader with 15+ years of experience architecting and delivering enterprise-scale applications used by millions—spanning infrastructure observability, software licensing, CRM modernization, and high-performance web platforms. His career arc reflects consistent progression toward higher-consequence systems: from building licensing platforms at Dell EMC and customer relationship management tooling at Deloitte, to leading cloud-native infrastructure monitoring capabilities at NetApp—where reliability, scale, and performance directly shape customer outcomes.

At NetApp, Ravi serves as Lead Software Engineer and Frontend Architect for Data Infrastructure Insights, a multi-cloud, Kubernetes-based platform serving 500+ paid customers globally. He leads teams delivering flagship features such as VM Analyzer, SAN Analyzer, Kubernetes Workload Map, and Log Explorer, operating within a microservices ecosystem (30+ services across 150+ developers). His scope includes architectural ownership, proof-of-concept research, sprint execution governance, and rigorous code/solution reviews. He also operates as a technical multiplier—running weekly R&D presentations for 100+ stakeholders, helping align engineering direction across a wide organization.

In parallel, Ravi has served as Architect and Lead Software Engineer for NetApp OnCommand Insight, delivering full-stack features using React/Redux, Java, Groovy, and Elasticsearch. His leadership across dashboards, collectors, and advanced query experiences contributed to broad adoption across 2,500+ enterprises. The platform’s recognition—Gold AVA Awards (2012) and Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice acknowledgment for infrastructure monitoring tools (with a cited 4.4/5 rating)—illustrates market-facing validation of the product ecosystems he helped advance.

Previously at Dell EMC, Ravi progressed from Consultant to Senior Consultant and UI Team Lead on Software Licensing Central, leading an offshore team of ~15 frontend engineers from onshore. He owned frontend architecture and project setup, sprint planning/grooming, and served as the single point of accountability for front-end to REST backend integration—helping streamline licensing workflows such as activation, entitlement tracking, certificate management, and rehosting across Dell’s enterprise portfolio.

Earlier at Deloitte, Ravi worked on large enterprise programs where integration complexity and scale were defining constraints. For Intel’s ACE CRM tool, he led issue-module delivery integrating Adobe Flex with SAP CRM, implementing offline capability and rich editor integration, and leading a team of six. His Master Data Grid Control—enabling multi-column filtering and sorting across the application—earned an Applause Award, reflecting peer recognition of reusable engineering leverage. He also contributed to the FamilySearch API platform via REST services (Jersey), testing, code reviews, and Jasper reporting; and served as Developer/Dev Lead for Agilent’s quoting tools, providing architecture direction, sprint estimation, delivery execution, defect leadership, hiring support, and build management.

Ravi’s most distinctive signature is performance and developer-productivity innovation. He engineered a custom network topology framework capable of rendering 500,000 nodes and links without performance collapse—using web workers and optimized rendering loops—and that framework powers multiple flagship features in Data Infrastructure Insights. He built a Demo Portal that reduced demo environment setup from days to ~10 seconds, enabling dozens of concurrent demos while reducing infrastructure costs. He also advanced AI-assisted engineering through systems like AHR AI for SAN device identification and internal productivity tools for wiki generation, bug analysis, and coding assistance—reinforced by hands-on workshops on LLM workflows and prompt engineering.

Across organizations, Ravi’s impact combines scale, craft, and leadership: shipping widely adopted platforms, building foundational frameworks that unlock new product capabilities, and mentoring engineers through architecture guidance, reviews, and live technical sessions.
