Software development focused on data communications & platform applications.

Designs simple interfaces for complex problems, prioritizing quality and readability. Proud to have left a mark on the internet through network device software used in enterprises, service providers, data centers, and the cloud.

Network Communications:
Built internet features from controlling the network to data traffic routing which includes few in-house projects, but mostly standards from IEEE, IETF and so on.(network layers of TCP/IP stack, VPNs, SDN, chipset SDK...). 

Network Monitoring:
Designed and developed features to monitor flow, data streaming, analytics, and visualize to have holistic view of networks, traffic and systems.

Infrastructure:
Monolithic to distributed micro services software  architectures, controller based centralized forwarding to distributed forwarding, building fault tolerant systems, cloud infrastructures (VMware, GCP, AWS, Azure).

Automating tests with gTest, Robot, iTest have helped to maintain the quality of software. Strong exposure with languages C, C++, Python developed mostly in Linux user space.
