IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience building high-performance networking software in Linux environments, specializing in C/C++, Python, and networking protocols such as IPsec, TCP/IP, and VPP. I focus on delivering production-ready features for telecom and enterprise systems with an emphasis on performance and reliability.
At Nokia I developed large-scale C/C++ features for 5G base stations, implemented IPsec vRAN, and built debugging tools that cut troubleshooting time by 40%. More recently at Benison Technologies I enhanced SCTP socket behavior for Kubernetes, designed S1U protocol IP aggregation on VPP, and improved Terraform deployments to reduce provisioning time by 30%.
I bring hands-on expertise in cloud-native deployments (AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform), Linux system administration, and network data path optimization. I prioritize robust, testable solutions and continuous improvement to reduce downtime and increase system reliability.
