Mayank Kumar — Software Engineer

I am a Software Engineer specializing in Distributed Systems, Cloud Infrastructure, and High-Performance Networking, with hands-on experience building and optimizing data plane and control plane systems at scale. Currently working at Oracle (SDE2), I contribute to Oracle Kubernetes Engine (OKE) on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), developing Java-based microservices and core platform components. My work includes Kubernetes development, cloud-native architecture, security vulnerability remediation (CVE fixes), observability, and performance optimization using metrics and dashboards. Previously at Intel, I worked on high-performance networking systems, including a Layer-4 Load Balancer (HDSLB) built using DPDK, VPP, and Open vSwitch (OVS). I developed systems in C/C++ and Golang, built APIs, and performed 100Gbps benchmarking and performance tuning on modern server architectures.
