Prasanna Kumara S — Software Engineer
With over 20 years in the networking domain, the journey has been nothing short of exciting and rewarding. I began my career in web development (LAMP stack), then moved on to building TCP, HTTP, and DNS proxies (PEP) for satellite networks, followed by a stint working with ADCs before joining IP Infusion. For 13+ years at IP Infusion, I’ve grown from a Senior Technical Lead to a Senior Technical Architect, eventually expanding into a product marketing and PLM role. During this time, I’ve led and contributed to several initiatives around ZebOS / OcNOS routing and switching solutions. A major focus of my work has been driving the development of EVPN solutions over both VxLAN and MPLS transports. Over a decade of working with EVPN has deepened my expertise in Layer 2, Layer 3, and VPN technologies for Data Center and Service Provider deployments. My certification in New Product Development and Management from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, has further strengthened my capabilities in product strategy, innovation, and design. This explorative journey of building Applications -> Transport -> Networking has equipped me with the confidence and insight to tackle new challenges in the evolving world of networking. I’m passionate about learning, solving complex problems, and collaborating across teams to deliver value to both the organization and its customers.
