> Leading testing of industrial IOT protocols on Cisco switches across multiple releases and platforms including Catalyst IE3K Series and Cisco IE4K, IE5K, IE4010.> Reported more than 300+ bugs on different protocols/features and helped improve the quality and performance of Cisco switches. Responsible for conducting end-to-end testing using various traffic and performance tools such as CALNEX, IXIA, TREX, Wireshark, Spirent.> Developed automation scripts for 200+ testcases using Python framework (PYATS) saving ~70% of feature execution time. Also worked on WebUI automation using Selenium grid. > Worked with and resolved escalations for several F500 customers such Rockwell Automations, National Instruments, General Motors, etc. Involved in recreating challenging customer network issues, collaborating with development peers and conducting root cause analysis.> Involved in design phases of various switch features such as PTP, PTP over HSR, etc. Gained design knowledge in the architecture of hardware components such as FPGA, PHY and ASIC.> Mentored and conducted automation bootcamps for entry level engineers to ensure smooth transition into switching and IE platforms.> Introduced virtualization in lab workstations by installing and maintaining CISCO UCS servers using VMWARE ESXI. Worked on CI/CD and test execution infrastructure using Jenkins, LAAS, Expresso, etc.> Serving as the PTP (Precision time protocol) feature SME in the industrial IOT team and currently leading test teams to test PTP dependent features across different Cisco platforms.> Authored detailed feature test plans, designed test bed topologies and automation for features like PTP over PRP, PTP over HSR, PTP on DLR, MRP, REP and STP rings, PTP over Stacking, MACSEC, etc.> Completed feature interaction testing for PTP and MACSEC against features like Ether-Channel, REP, STP, Trunk Ports, L2NAT and against different Medium like Copper and Fiber

> Chalked down and implemented ways to configure cloud like instances on a local computer machine using XEN-Hypervisor> Mastered the working of XEN-Hypervisor and XEN- Blanket and configured cloud like instances over a local machine> Successfully ran several benchmarks over every instance to check their performance with different parameters and documented the reports> Checkpointed the cloud like instances and saved them over the local system itself and again checkpointed the cloud instances with CSMA technology> Monitored performance of each cloud instance and entire cloud system applying different memory and processor benchmarks> Checkpointing all 3 cloud instances with memory benchmarks is approximately equal to time required to checkpoint one instance with memory workload
