Having spent the last 17 years working in Engineering and Solutions Architecture, Animesh likes to call himself a Systems designer and has been exposed to various technologies since 1999 when bumping into GNU/Linux by accident – from Applications running on Bare-metal to Virtual Machines to Containers to Serverless Computing, or from complex Monolithic Applications to web-scale Micro-Services Architectures. After dabbling in startups before startups were a rage, Animesh moved back to working in the Industry specifically in Internet, Messaging Systems, Network / Telecom Security, and recently Big Data and Data Science. Since the last year, Animesh is a Principal Solutions Architect at Elastic and designs large Analytics and Big Data platforms with the Elastic Stack for a living.
