About

Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience in C/C++ embedded development, system-level programming, and large-scale distributed infrastructure. At Cisco, I design and optimize hardware-software interfaces on IOS-XR for DWDM/OTN optical networking devices, ensuring carrier-grade reliability across millions of deployments. Skilled in debugging complex systems, building scalable control-plane software, and architecting resilient pipelines for observability and automation. I thrive at the intersection of hardware and software—translating low-level signal control into high-performance distributed systems. Passionate about automation, edge-case safety, and memory-efficient design, I continuously explore ways to accelerate developer productivity through AI-driven workflows and robust engineering practices.
