• Lead developer for time synchronization/Precision Time Protocol and telemetry modules for anew hardware-assisted transport protocol enabling connection orchestration at scale.
• Primary contributor to Intel's latest network driver, Infrastructure Data Path Function (idpf).Designed and implemented software architecture for next generation networking features.
• Experience in full product life-cycle. From hardware specification, to driver design and writingthe first code commits, to delivering a feature complete driver to the upstream Linux kernel.
• Achieved full line rate bandwidth on the initial Alpha release silicon of network device byutilizing kernel performance tracing and optimizing memory caching.
• Refactored network device driver data structures for efficiency and maintainability.
• Designed a robust algorithm for HW communication channel; refactoring the previousproblematic implementation.
