* SD-WAN Controller Focus: My role primarily revolves around the SD-WAN controller, which is responsible for managing and optimizing network traffic. * Feature Enhancements: I've been actively involved in enhancing existing features of the SD-WAN controller. That had capabilities to handle network traffic more efficiently. * Feature Development: My responsibilities also extend to developing new features for the SD-WAN controller. This involves conceptualizing, designing, and implementing functionalities that enhance network control and performance. * Traffic Prioritization: One of the core functions is to prioritize network traffic. This entails assigning different levels of importance to packets based on their characteristics or origin. This ensures that critical data gets preference over less important traffic. * Quality of Service (QoS): My work was on implementing QoS policies within the SD-WAN controller. This involves defining rules and configurations to guarantee a certain level of service quality for different types of traffic. * Traffic Shaping: My role also entailed configuring traffic shaping mechanisms to control the flow of data. This helps in regulating bandwidth usage and avoiding congestion.

About

Backend and infrastructure engineer with 6+ years building distributed systems in Go, Python, Java and Kotlin. I work on the layers most people never see: the services, data pipelines and infrastructure that have to stay fast and reliable at scale. I care about systems that are simple to operate, observable by default, and boring in production. Outside of work I write about distributed systems and infrastructure engineering on Medium (medium.com/@kirtydash). Currently open to senior backend, platform or infrastructure engineering roles. Languages: Go, Python, Java, Kotlin (also JavaScript/Node.js) Data stores: Elasticsearch, ClickHouse, MongoDB Platforms and tooling: Kubernetes, gRPC, Protocol Buffers, AWS, GCP, Azure Infrastructure as code: Terraform, Ansible Interests: Distributed systems, infrastructure engineering, operating systems
