Worked in Meta’s Network Infrastructure Systems team to provide full stack testing and integration support on project Terragraph, a distribution layer wireless networking product based on 802.11ay standards. Supported Meta developers, as well as external manufacturers and operators. Responsible for creating, documenting, and executing test cases to validate product features with an emphasis on large scale and operator focused use cases. Upon Terragraph program completion, transitioned to evaluating and qualifying fixed broadband technology solutions for the Telecom Infra Project (TIP). This included broadband network gateway products and low latency low loss scalable throughput technologies with the objective of creating metaverse ready operator networks. Key Achievements:Drove testing and validation efforts towards the completion of project Terragraph, which saw the technology open sourced, and OEM partners successfully market Terragraph products. Scoped, deployed, and documented various next generation networking solutions to further TIP and Meta project objectives.

During this role, I developed and automated test cases/plans for functional, performance, and regression testing, while testing bed sanity with internal automation framework based on Python. I also conducted automated and manual testing of IF, RF HW, and SW in embedded Linux environment under continuous integration. For performing throughput, performance, and routing (Open/R) testing of Terragraph, I leveraged Ixia Breaking Point and home built test systems. My key standalone notable accomplishment is mentioned below:⇨ Pinpointed, tracked, and documented bugs via in-depth evaluation and processing of test results.
