Neil Mahajan

I'm a Software Engineer 2 on the NetApp Console team at NetApp's RTP campus in North Carolina, developing and enhancing microservices that deliver a seamless experience for managing storage and data services across on-premises and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP). I also serve as Scrum Master for my team. I'm a graduate of Arizona State University (Barrett, The Honors College), where I earned my BS in Computer Science in just three years (Magna Cum Laude).

My background spans full-stack development, cloud architecture, AI integration, and automation, with professional experience at Arizona Public Service designing enterprise application solutions and streamlining operations through Python, PowerShell, and Batch automation scripts.
