Hi, I'm Gaurav Rathor and I am seasoned Performance Engineering Leader with over 14 years of extensive experience in optimizing enterprise applications, microservices, and infrastructure performance across diverse technology landscapes. I hold a Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Technology from YeshwantRao Chavan College of Engineering, India, and have built a distinguished career delivering impactful solutions in performance engineering and infrastructure automation. Currently, I serves as a Senior Member of Technical Staff at VMware Inc., leading performance benchmarking, optimization, and infrastructure automation initiatives for mission-critical products. I partner with product and engineering leadership to embed performance-first practices throughout the development lifecycle, enhancing system scalability, reliability, and operational efficiency. My expertise spans monolithic .NET applications, containerized microservices, APIs, and messaging systems, with hands-on mastery in tools like LoadRunner, JMeter, Dynatrace, Splunk, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Jenkins. I led the development of Infrastructure-as-Code frameworks for continuous deployment and performance testing on containerized environments, significantly improving resource management and observability. Prior to VMware, held leadership roles at Total System Services, The Home Depot, and Patni Computer Systems (Capgemini), managing performance for enterprise applications, call center CRMs, and globally visible digital campaigns. I have mentored high-performing teams while driving innovation and performance excellence.
