📖 Summary

Summer Intern @ Samsung Electronics America Evaluated the performance of an Ad Hoc Distance Vector (AODV) based layer2.5 routing protocol over a multihop ad hoc network of Samsung i750 smart phones. Developed ping, parsers for the packet traces and several other utilities for the smartphone platform. Key performance metrics generated helped to improve the performance of the protocol. From 2006 to 2006 (less than a year) Dallas/Fort Worth AreaResearch Staff @ IBM Research Lab Designed and developed an integrated middleware architecture for efficient delivery of value-added services to mobile subscribers. The architectural framework was adapted to the then upcoming 3GPP 3G and Beyond 3G architectures. This work also paved the way later on for the discovery of structural properties of massive telecom call graphs. From June 2004 to July 2005 (1 year 2 months) New Delhi Area, IndiaMTS and Tech Lead @ Avi Networks Avi Networks (acquired by VMware), provides application service fabric using software defined server load balancing, analytics and security in private, public and hybrid clouds. As a founding engineer of the L7 team, I built the foundations for its distributed service platform - which is used extensively by Fortune 100 businesses such as GE, Verizon, IBM etc.:1. I built the DataScript datapath scripting engine for the platform which is equivalent to F5 Networks' iRule engine. The DataScript engine allows Lua langauge based data traffic management of protocols such as HTTP, TLS, DNS, DHCP, RDP, etc. This product was instrumental in the adoption of the Avi platform in deployments of early cloud adopters such as Paypal, Intuit, Fidelity, etc.2. I was involved, as part of a three member development team, in building the Global Server Load Balancing product which is a distributed system for providing high availability of datacenter and cloud services using Domain Name Service. As part of this product, I also built the pipeline for processing DNS queries over UDP and TCP protocol. The GSLB product is integrated with Microsoft Azure DNS Private Zones to provide global load balancing services to customers such as Adobe.3. I built the foundations for the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack detection and mitigation platform in Golang. This platform aggregates metrics from the distributed datapath and based on input from anomaly detection algorithms automatically provisions the datapath for attack mitigation policies. From May 2013 to March 2019 (5 years 11 months) San Francisco Bay AreaSenior Software Engineer @ Ericsson I was part of the small team which designed and developed the network products for the world's first 4G LTE deployments. It is likely you are accessing your apps on your smartphones over 4G LTE networks we built.I co-developed the Packet Data Network Gateway and Serving Gateway product on Ericsson's SmartEdge and Smart Services Edge converged packet data platforms. The product was used in many first 4G LTE deployments across the world from Verizon Wireless, USA to Telia Sonera, Sweden. From July 2007 to May 2013 (5 years 11 months) San Francisco Bay AreaSummer Intern @ Universidade de Coimbra In an European grant project to University of Coimbra, studied IP micro mobility environments and proposed changes to Cellular IP (precursor to Mobile IP in research community) for lossless mobility and changes to RSVP protocol for QoS in such micro mobility environments. From 2003 to 2003 (less than a year) Coimbra Area, PortugalSenior Principal Software Engineer @ Palo Alto Networks Building out the cloud infrastructure for the Zero Trust Network for the next 10K customers of Palo Alto Networks. Santa Clara County, California, United StatesMTS and Founding Engineer @ Cyral Cyral is an early stage startup, series A funding led by Redpoint Ventures, solving the problem of data security for the cloud native world. As a member of the founding engineering team, I built the foundations of the Cyral platform to solve enterprise customers' pain points around security for the data sprawl in their journey to the cloud native world. From March 2019 to September 2020 (1 year 7 months) San Francisco Bay Area
