• Working on open source, programable dataplane Vector Packet Processing (VPP), extended it to support feature like protocol independent NAT, bug fixes etc. All the code is committed back to the project• Design and develop Elixir based VPP agent that implements binary message passing protocol exposed by VPP. Agent exposes gRPC based northbound interface that is used by SDN controller to program VPP. Agent also listens to VPP events like interface state changes and takes appropriate action defined e.g. notify SDN controller etc• Helped dataplane team in various VPP related blockers. Also helped team with right tooling for the project.• Work with dataplane team on various POCs e.g. VPP as L2 bridge connecting two KVM VMs, service chaining in VPP using VPP graph node abstraction i.e. ACL -> NAT -> Routing, VPP and hugepages configuration for performance tuning• Briefly worked on P4 programable SmartNIC by Pensando for the POC of IPSEC offloadOpen Source Contributions:=====================2023 VPP, Prometheus exporter - improvement - https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/vpp/+/395912022 VPP, PNAT - improvement - https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/vpp/+/36112 2022 VPP, Vhost v2 API - bugfix - https://gerrit.fd.io/r/c/vpp/+/358732021 Phoenix Swager - improvement - https://github.com/xerions/phoenix_swagger/pull/2652021 xlsxir - bugfix - https://github.com/jsonkenl/xlsxir/pull/1022021 sshex - bugfix - https://github.com/rubencaro/sshex/pull/23

• Leading team of 4 to 6 developers to provide software solutions on different problems• Designed and developed test automation framework that helps Equinix certify different products like Equnix Fabric (EF). (python)• Developed execution portal for the framework to help folks run the automation easily. Portal is written in Elixir using Phoenix LiveView

ONOS (Java):- Implemented end to end service provisioning module.- Implemented Alarm handling app.- Extended ONOS APIs to support more use cases.- Wrote a REST driver for Ciena Waveserver- Designed and develop driver for MCP (Ciena controller) as a big switch.Automation Framework (Python):- Designed and develop automation framework that supports different Equnix solutions.- Currently Framework supports: - Pytest based Test Automation for OpenStack and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) - Deployment Automation for OpenStack and NFV - Grafana Integration & report-portal - Can be deployed as Docker Container

As a Software Engineer my core responsibilities included, Design and Development of Automation Infrastructure (python), writing backend libraries for the infra, code reviews. Automation Infra is written in python using all open source libraries which makes it easy for the customer to deploy it. It has been developed using OOP techniques which allows end user to build platform independent and protocol agnostic test automation. I also got a change to get my hands dirty with Open Day Light (ODL) a SDN controller. I developed ODL service model using YANG as data model and NETCONF and RESTCONF as transport protocol. RESTCONF was used as northbound and NETCONF as southbound.

Worked on OpenVirteX (OVX) and Open Networking Operating System (ONOS).OpenVirteX:=========-Worked on different aspect of OVX like designing new IPAdressing Scheme, virtual link discovery etc. (Java)-Designed and Developed OVX Tesing Framework. (Python)-Test many features of OVX using both JUnit and OVX Testing Framework. (Java/Python)ONOS Segment Routing use case:===========================-Wrote new APIs for ONOS that support OpenFlow v1.3. (Java)-Developed Command Line Interface (CLI).(Python)ONOS Packet-Optical use case/Multi Layer SDN Controller:=============================================-Responsible for end to end integration. (Mininet, OVS [Packet Switch], Linc-OE [Optical Switch Emulator], ONOS [SDN controller])-Developed Mininet Optical/LINC classes so that mininet can controle optical element too.
