With 18 years of experience as a Principal Network Engineer, I specialize in designing, implementing, and troubleshooting data center networking technologies. My focus areas include:IP Fabric with BGP and VxLAN/EVPN: I’ve architected robust IP fabrics, ensuring seamless communication across networks.RoCE Fabric: My work involves designing, implementing, testing and tuning RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) fabric. This enables real-time streaming of video and images from high-speed IP cameras to compute nodes.Past Experience Highlights:Distributed Grid Computing Cluster: I constructed a Hadoop-based cluster to rigorously test Ethernet switches under massive data read/write scenarios within a distributed file system.OpenStack Plugin: Contributing to OpenStack, I developed a network plugin that enhanced functionality.SNAT Automation Framework: Design and develop an automation framework for product verification in IBM system networking development pipelineOnbox Scripting: Participate in scripting support development in IBM system networking rack switches.SONiC Certification: Main contributor and leader in SONiC certification for Lenovo data center switches using the sonic-mgmt suite.Aviz FTAS (Fabric Test Automation Suite): Design, implement and a key contributor in FTAS developmentSONiC API Development: Crafting APIs for SONiC configuration provisioning. Show case in SONiC summit hackathon in 2019 Sunnyvale, CASONiC Virtual Testbed: Automate the creation and tear down of virtual sonic sandbox environment RoCE Fabric: Design, implement and test RoCE fabric for streaming video and images from high speed IP camera to real time compute nodes.Current Role:FTAS (Fabric Test Automation Suite): I designed and developed the core components of the test framework. Currently, I am contributing to the new FTAS development.I provide support for customers’ networks running SONiC on multiple hardware vendors.I collaborate with clients and vendors on Proof of Concepts (PoCs) using SONiC NOS.Additionally, I support the sales team in enabling SONiC for customers during PoC, pre-sales, and post-sale phases.Let’s connect!
