Rahul Kumar — Software Engineer

I am a Software Engineer with 7.5+ years of experience building and scaling infrastructure components for large-scale, high-availability systems. My work spans distributed systems, upgrade/downgrade workflows, cluster recovery frameworks, diagnostics and switch data-plane infrastructure. I have strong ownership of critical infrastructure areas, with a consistent track record of delivering features with high quality and on time. I enjoy solving complex engineering problems, improving system robustness, and contributing to architecture and design for long-term maintainability. My experience includes working across Cisco APIC, Juniper ACX switches, and Toshiba’s embedded platforms—designing, optimizing, and maintaining core modules used across production environments. I’ve also handled high-severity customer escalations, ensuring timely resolution and stability of critical workloads. My technical strengths include C++ (advanced), Python (intermediate), Ginkgo testing framework, Linux internals, distributed systems, networking, IPC, multithreading, system design, data structures and algorithms. I’ve also worked extensively with GDB, Valgrind, and low-level debugging tools. I’m passionate about building reliable, resilient systems and continuously improving engineering processes and product quality. I am also a US patent holder and have received multiple recognitions at Cisco and Juniper for impactful contributions.
