Developed a FastAPI-based log analysis platform for AOS switch and HMON datasets, enabling structured investigation of 10,000+ enterprise log entries and reducing mean time-to-diagnose (MTTD) by 40%. Engineered automated ingestion pipelines to extract nested TAR archives, parse multi-source switch logs into structured JSON, and visualize CPU, memory, and fan telemetry via interactive Plotly dashboards. Transformed raw enterprise switch logs into searchable datasets with real-time hardware telemetry dashboards, enabling faster operational troubleshooting for Technical Support Engineers.
