Lead Developer for Application Security, Machine Learning, and System Automation projects

Gaithersburg, Maryland, United States

Key contributions:- Led COTS update/migration activities for lab and customer networks; automated using Python, Ansible, and shell scripting to improve operational efficiency and maintain scalability- Spearheaded data-driven analytics initiative – Designed and Implemented predictive model to predict the number of VSATs in different error states by doing multi-variate time series forecast using VAR, LSTM, CNN, and fbprophet; then performed anomaly detection using Isolation forest – thereby boosted the efficiency of the Network Engineering team- Developed and piloted a descriptive-analytical model using Python (pandas) and Plotly visualizations on API logs from production networks, leading to optimization and formulation of specifications for internal/external system API calls- Built an API simulator to accelerate performance analysis of a JUPITER platform using JavaScript, node.js/Express.js- Collaborated with multiple teams to build requirement and design documents, interface control documents, and release notes documents; also organized and actively participated in document inspections and code reviews

Key contributions:- Demonstrated troubleshooting and problem-solving/analyzing skills from time to time by serving as technical point of escalation in the software engineering group and providing 24x7 on-call support on a rotation basis- Provided insights on functional and non-functional improvements, including timing and performance analysis for 25 different networking features on the JUPITER system, resulting in improved performance, reliability, and customer satisfaction- Improved test efficiency - Designed and implemented automation framework with Jenkins, Python and Ansible

Key contributions:- Integrated and supported networking feature implementation in a lab environment for over 20 releases; supported post-release implementation on customer networks/gateways across the globe thereby ensuring on-time resolutions- Supported infrastructure bring up including router, switches, firewall, HP OA/VC, and vSphere ESXi configuration and staging activities for 6 end-to-end lab systems and 4 customer systems; contributed to productization of this entire process which reduced the total bring-up time to less than 1/5th of the original time- Designed network for testing tools, built network architecture diagrams for existing lab infrastructure and maintained 8 end-to-end lab setups on regular basis increasing the overall development and testing efficiency
