@austinphilipdsilva

Software Engineer at Volvo Cars building CI/CD automation for Linux and embedded platforms; previously developed Cisco wireless controller software.

At Volvo Cars, I develop Python and Shell automation to detect access-control and permission issues in simulation and testing environments. I also maintain Ansible playbooks and Zuul checks for CI/CD, test execution, and release validation.

I support Bazel-based monorepo builds and integrations across Linux and embedded software platforms. My work helps surface integration and configuration issues earlier and reduces manual validation during code review and release preparation.

At Cisco Systems, I designed and implemented C modules for embedded Linux-based wireless controllers and IIOT routers. I contributed Wi-Fi 6 support for Cisco Industrial IOT Routers and developed control-plane traffic generation and IPv6 address storage for the SISF module.

Earlier at Cisco, I contributed to eWLC security, MIBs, and SNMP support. At HCL Technologies @ Brocade Systems and Aricent Technologies, I worked on fabric zoning commands, switch statistics, and PTP protocol enhancements.
