## About

My career centers on building robust and scalable networking solutions\. I have hands\-on experience across the dataplane/SDK, where I developed and optimized QoS, LAG, and PFC features, and the control plane, where I'm currently focused on core MAC learning functionality using SONiC and SAI\. I'm adept at improving unit test frameworks and implementing automation tools to validate complex network protocols\. My work on Slingshot High Performance Interconnect also involves enhancing protocol management and system scalability, often utilizing tools like OpenMPI and Slurm for rigorous validation\.
