Education:
Bachelor of Engineering, Electronics and Communication from National institute of Engineering, Mysore, University of
Mysore.(1996)
Synthesis Winding technologies, India [2014-Present] – Embedded software architect
• Developed the embedded controller for universal coil winding applications (to work on all of the winding machine
platforms of Synthesis)using Freescale Kinetis micro-cotrollers(MQX RTOS of Freescale). Introduced power-fail-
restore feature to complete the winding of coils when power fails and comes back.
Juniper networks India [2012-2013] - Staff software engineer
• Interface manager : logical interface module development on JunOS EVO
Cisco Systems, India [2006 – 2012] – Tech Lead
• FEX – Fabric extender (integrating Cat4K into Cat6K platform as extended line card modules) LTL (local target
lookup) table extensions and scaling.

2. • Network Based Application recognition – IPv6 enhancements.Modified the NBAR compiler to recognize Ipv6
application traffic.
• Routed VLAN and Transparent bridging : transitioned the ownership of these IOS modules to India and led the
sustenance and feature developments. Added features like enabling IPV6 routing over Bridged virtual interface and
inserting dot1q tag on bridged frames going over ATM VC.
• ANCP: Worked on Extensions to the protocol and IETF participation.
• CMP and lights out management: (connectivity management processoron NXUS-7000): Developed ISSU, HA
and pseudo network driver to transfer data between main processorand CMP.
Netscaler (Citrix), India [2004-2006]– Senior software engineer
• Routing protocols (OSPF/RIP stacks from IP Infusion) integration onto Netscaler platform for RHI, ACL design
and development using hierarchical intelligent cuttings algorithm.
Corona Networks, Milpitas,USA[2000-2003] – Software engineer
• IPC/RPC : Designed and developed the Inter processorcommunication (message transport system) module on a
distributed router
• AAA/PPP/L2TP: Developed the AAA/RADIUS stack and integrated with PPP/L2TP. Involved in PPPoX scaling
and optimization
• Virtual routing control plane design/development and socket layer API changes for VR
• ACL: Co-designed the Recursive flow classification algorithm to implement ACL.
