## Work Experience
### Principal Software Engineer @ Araali Networks
Jan 2019 – Present
Build a resilient, stable, performant, secure agent for kuberenetes as well as various linux platforms relying on eBPF technology across multiple cloud providers (AWS, GCE, Azure). It monitors and enforces process level policies to meet customer run time security needs. Evolved from BCC to CO-RE eBPF styles supporting a broad set of kernel versions. Incorporated interesting remote debuggable facilities to support deployments for ease, no harm, resource constrained.

### Technical Leader @ Cisco Systems
Jan 2013 – Jan 2019 | San Jose
Retooled once again to building scalable app server. Added to my toolbox: JEE alphabet soup: Java, JBoss, Spring frameworks, Hibernate, JUnit, TestNG, Virtualization (VMware) of Network services - automating, and orchestrating solutions spread across many VMs in highly secure environments. Much more accomplished in building IoT management controller with variety of Industrial protocols(esoteric PROFINET slice), and doing things some others gave up on, helping others to come up with simple solutions, saving $s, adding good value in providing timely solutions.

### Software Engineer @ Redwood Systems
Jan 2011 – Jan 2012
Building distributed infrastructure for multinode system with a mix of functional and generic programming techniques. System does smart energy management with multitude of sensors, and lights.

### Principal Software Engineer @ Ciena
Jan 2008 – Jan 2011
Developing scalable solutions for standard protocols for carrier grade equipment: IGMP (v3, v2) snooping, IPv6 support, VPLS over IP/MPLS.

### Sr. Software Engineer @ Identity Engines
Jan 2006 – Jan 2008
Analyze and build solutions for high performance, and high availability at system level. Building high performance application level corba based gateway with security. Highly reliable notification service in the presence of process restarts, and  corba communication infrastructure for widely dispersed networked systems.

### Principal Architect @ Aspect Communications
Jan 2004 – Jan 2006
Building VoIP based phone for custom specific. It's not a traditional phone!
