Software Senior Engineer at Dell Technologies developing SONiC platform device-driver frameworks.

United States

Message

At Dell Technologies, I contribute to networking switching software for data-center platforms, including a platform device-driver framework for SONiC. I develop and test software using C, C++, Python, and scripting languages.

At CAPGEMINI AMERICA INC., I participated in embedded product development and Positive Train Control (PTC) testing. For Wabtec Railways Electronics, I unit-tested C software modules with VectorCAST and created TCL scripts for scalability and performance testing.

Earlier, I developed firmware and product features across storage, industrial automation, energy, and consumer electronics projects. My work included customizing Broadcom Storage Expander SDK firmware, implementing a HART pass-through feature for a Profinet scanner, and integrating energy-meter modules on ThreadX.
