Experience

1. Software Engineer Iv

   Cisco

   Nov 2023 — Present

   Architected an AI-agent knowledge base over a 240K+ line C++ codebase, enabling LLM-powered coding assistants to make architecturally-aware changes in single-pass completions — with drift detection that validates docs against live source to prevent silent failures from stale context.• Designed and built a multi-threaded, async Python distributed microservice from zero —ingesting 6M+ telemetry records over Kafka and producing over 1M traffic demands in under 3minutes, architected for high availability and horizontal scalability.• Engineered a multi-phase demand deduction pipeline that separates IGP and Policy demandsfrom polluted counters reported against shared IPv6 prefix locators — resolving ambiguoustelemetry into distinct demand types with batched network model lookups and segment topologyreconstruction.• Exposed RESTCONF APIs for demand routes, service-level configuration, and paginated demandquerying — with direct PostgreSQL reads to minimize latency and gRPC orchestration for runtimeparameter updates without service restarts.• Architected and delivered a distributed C++ execution framework for a multi-domain engine,establishing process-to-process delegation, gRPC control-plane coordination, and worker healthprotocols to scale computation reliably across clustered services.• Designed and implemented a pluggable endpoint-resolution and path-computation subsystem,adding new core abstractions, ranking algorithms, ECMP-aware routing logic, and deterministicfallback behavior for complex multi-candidate inputs.• Drove end-to-end delivery across the platform stack — domain model, simulation engine,service interfaces, protobuf translation layers, and request-processing pipelines — turning aspecialized feature into a maintainable, extensible product capability.
