ABOUT AHAMED ALI RIYAZ

Lead engineer with a strong background in wireless and cellular technologies, specializing in 5G Core (5GC) systems and high‑performance networking software. I bring extensive experience working in R&D environments, delivering scalable, performance‑critical solutions across both control and data planes.I primarily design and develop high‑throughput, low‑latency applications using C++ and Python, with a current focus on 5GC Data Plane (UPF) feature development, leveraging DPDK for fast‑path packet processing and WLAN–5GC interworking solutions.Previously, I contributed to AMF R&D initiatives and Small Cell embedded software product development, gaining deep insights into 5G control plane behavior and telecom-grade software design.Technical Expertise:# Multi‑threaded system design and concurrency management# Virtual machine–based microservices architecture# 5GC protocol stack and 3GPP‑compliant implementations# Fast‑path architecture with kernel bypass (DPDK)# 5GC Control & Data Plane software: AMF and UPF# Pv4 ↔ IPv6 transition mechanisms# Linux open‑source networking stacks and services:# strongSwan, RADVD, FreeRADIUS, NetIWF, BIND, TAYGA, TOTD# WLAN, CI‑WLAN, VoWiFi, VoIP, and VoNR technologiesI possess strong object‑oriented design skills, with solid proficiency in data structures and algorithms, enabling robust, maintainable, and extensible software solutions.I have hands‑on exposure to 3GPP specifications and protocols, including NGAP, NAS, GTP, HTTP/2, IKEv2, ESP, and EAP, and I am well‑versed in industry‑standard development and debugging tools such as Iperf, GDB, Git, Gerrit, Wireshark, Bitbucket, Jenkins, and Jira.Driven by problem‑solving, performance optimization, and clean architecture, I enjoy building software
