Annapoorna Yanchali

I’m a Software Engineer with 5+ years of embedded software experience, specializing in C/C++, data structures, and Linux internals (IPC, memory/process management, and multi-threading). I build end-to-end solutions—from requirement analysis and design to coding, testing, and cross-team collaboration—driven by continuous learning and practical problem-solving.

At Dell Technologies (Software Engineer II), I worked on PowerStore (midrange data storage) and PowerFlex (flexible Software-Defined Storage). I resolved critical issues flagged by Coverity static analysis, developed a Static Analysis Reporting (SAR) tool to automate code-quality and security vulnerability reporting, and improved reliability through automation and validation work (including cloud connectivity/encryption via CloudLink Agent and kernel compatibility checks for OPAL drives). I also strengthened multi-threaded system stability by applying thread synchronization techniques, resolving thread starvation from heavy I/O operations, and enhancing transport integration (NVMe/TCP). Earlier, with Global Edge, I supported Yocto-based embedded Linux development—building custom distributions, enhancing BSP layers, performing core dump analysis and debugging, applying Selinux policy rules, improving boot-time reliability, and packaging images for embedded systems.
