Applied R&D Engineer at Nokia who cut feature validation time by up to 70% with a Python module-level testing framework.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Nokia, I own end-to-end delivery of SR Linux features, from planning and automation through release sign-off. I built a Python module-level framework that cuts feature validation time by up to 70%.
I also developed infrastructure to verify YANG paths across gRPC, JSON-RPC, and CLI, and automated Kubernetes environments for repeatable testing. My work includes resilient Docker image retrieval and AI-driven workflows that generate tests and connect defects with logs and failures.
At Infosys Ltd., I developed Azure data connectors and services, including a real-time historian platform that improved data transmission by 40%. I also built a real-time IoT data streaming architecture and Azure serverless functions for event-driven processes.
