Architect and lead the design / development of a gNMI-based streaming telemetry platform. In this role, I drive the technical effort to rebuild our network observability stack from the ground up. By moving to a streaming telemetry model, we provide customers with unprecedented visibility into micro-bursts and congestion; issues previously "invisible" to legacy tools. This modernization provides the business with real-time, actionable data and high-fidelity monitoring.

Furthermore, I mentor a team of engineers in the creation of high-performance telemetry collectors and advanced automation tools.

I am passionate about building self-healing networks that scale with the demands of modern AI/ML workloads, and I specialize in bridging the gap between traditional network engineering and modern software practices.

Manage Workloads on Edge Compute @scale

• As co-founder and lead architect, designed and developed manageability infrastructure, a set of rich libraries which exposes APIs that helps in deploy, orchestrate, telemetry and event handling of edge devices.

• Built a prototype to showcase the benefits of using this management infra, which makes managing the edge devices and workloads easier.

Edge Computing Services on Access/Edge Routers:

* Lead architect to design/develop a prototype of Docker container based APP services such as, "Service and Network Monitoring" and "Distributed detection of DDoS attack".

Cisco Core Routers based on IOS-XR:

* Broadband Network Gateway: Key person to design, develop HTTP Header Enrichment based on Policy Based Routing (PBR) and HTTP Redirect.

* Lead the manageability team to design/develop/customize router management solutions based on Netconf, XML,Yang, Telemetry.

* Design/develop/improve performance of some of the core infrastructure components of XR software.

* Groom the team to deliver high available system in the industry.

As Co Founder/Engineer, led the design and development of a mobile IT platform for enterprises to secure and manage mobile applications. Provide seamless secure access to enterprise applications on personal mobile devices, certificate-based security, enforcing user authentication, secure enterprise contents on mobile device and a platform for IT to manage devices. Thus making BYOD to work easier.

One of the key person to design the virtualized, next-gen IPsec Security Gateway on Cisco ASR9000 edge router. Using the SDN concepts, delivered key features Reverse Route Injection, high availability, geo-redundancy, X.509 certificate sync with high quality and ahead of schedule. Reduced the switchover time significantly to less than 2 seconds, exceeding the customer requirement.

Responsible for initial architecture of Cisco 7600/SAMI based IPsec Wireless Security Gateway product, after evaluating multiple hardware and software options. Wireless Security Gateway on Cisco 7600 router is a very successful and high throughput IPsec gateway, deployed in various service providers’ LTE, Femto, and Small Cell network today.

Involved in the architecture and design of mobile data traffic off-load using edge router ASR9000, thus bypassing the SGSN/GGSN, SGW/PGW gateways. This approach reduces the capex / opex costs of the service providers, and delivers better user experience.

Key person to design/implement Network Service Director product , based on Content Services Gateway that is deployed in LTE network. It is a deep packet inspection gateway, which diverts traffic to Internet if it doesn’t require further optimization, thus saving capex costs in the SP network.

Key contributor to design/implementation of Session Border Controller on Cisco CRS-DRP router, and DDoS solution on Cisco GSR 12000.
