  • Leading a team of 10 engineers to handle configuration manager, system boot-up optimization, and system upgrades, improving system reliability by 60% through innovative design and rigorous testing.
  • Managed internal communication processes, secure boot of systems, and parallel boot-up of large distributed systems, enhancing efficiency by 80%.
  • Handling field escalations and providing support to TAC/NSG team for the field deployments
  • Utilized C++ programming language to drive system enhancements and optimizations, ensuring robust and efficient software performance.

Software Engineer III

Cisco
06.2015 - 08.2018
  • Config-ConfigManager module is responsible for handling all the configuration in the router, configured by user from CLI/Netconf/Other Agents. This involves handling of Creation/Deletion/Updating of the configuration. These configurations could be related to OTN/SONET/Ethernet and other system level configuration.
  • Config manager module is responsible for smooth transition of configuration during software upgrade (ISSU - In Service Software Upgrade). The major role of config-manager module is to reapply the configuration in case of router reload, LC reload, process restart and RP switchover

Senior Software Engineer

Infinera
07.2014 - 04.2015
  • The Infinera DTN-X is a next generation multi-Terabit converged P-OTN solution. The DTN-X enables 5 Tb/s of non-blocking switching in a single bay, upgradeable in the future to 12 Tb/s, scalable to 240 Tb/s in a multi-bay configuration, and offering 8 Tb/s of WDM capacity scalable to 24 Tb/s.
  • DTN-X combines the benefits of PIC technology, integrated switching and the flexibility of OTN and packet. The DTN-X extends Infinera’s leadership with the unique Digital ROADM architecture and Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) service intelligence and is positioned to meet the needs of service providers seeking to offer new and innovative services in a SIMPLE, SCALABLE, and EFFICIENT manner.
  • Apart from this highly scalable product, there are other product which are deployed with the DTNX are OA (Optical Amplifier), BMM (Band Mux Module, it is part of DTN Box)

Senior Software Engineer

Ciena
12.2012 - 10.2014
  • Working on Ciena’s Reconfigurable Switching System (RSS) 5430 and Core Director(CD) which is the industry’s first multi-terabit packet-optical switching platform that transforms networks into scalable, flexible, cost-reduced service-enabling infrastructures to meet the monumental traffic growth challenges of the 21st century.
  • The product uses the WDM technology which provides a scalable optical foundation that allows you to differentiate your service offerings. From dynamic bandwidth allocation and compression for data center connectivity, to wire-speed encryption and uncompressed digital video transport, compete more effectively by offering unique SLAs and improved service quality.
  • Working on protocols to manage the bandwidth of the optical link for the best utilization, Optical Signaling and Routing Protocol (OSRP).

Software Engineer

Aricent
07.2010 - 11.2012
  • Project Description: Flexi platform (FP) is middleware architecture, which combine all the common features (e.g. like CPU usage, Disk Usages, Raising Alarms etc.) used by various telecom hardware (e.g. ATCA, NB) and put them into the OS running underlying hardware so that they need not to be developed based on each hardware.
