These days our teams are responsible for:- enabling a single software image (EOS) to manage a heavily deployed set of hardware devices and expanding support for next generation products up to 800 Gbps per port. This includes selecting and partnering with a multitude of internal hardware/FPGA designer-developers and external chip/component vendors and getting our software to work at scale with their software APIs or SDKs- continuing partnerships with cloud scalers to design, develop and maintain network products, which includes delivering software for open-source operating systems like SONiC, FBOSS or OpenBMC.- improving on product quality including predicting and preventing failures before they cause a network outage- strengthening security at the hardware/software intersection layers- building solutions to improve product energy efficiency- expanding to new markets to enable a wider set of companies and therefore people to benefit from what we’ve learned in building products for the hyper-scalers- increasing observability of the network to allow customers to better understand patterns and root cause problems in their network I continue to be involved in growing our larger organization. I am the executive sponsor for college recruitment in the west coast USA where we get the privilege to find and grow the next set of talent. I recruit experienced team members to enable our team to benefit from skills and leadership from elsewhere in the industry. I also built and continue to invest in our new hire training program that almost every engineer goes through when they join, and I also build and run training programs for new managers.
