About me
I am passionate about networked systems that solve problems at scale.
During my PhD, I applied Software-defined networking, Distributed systems, and Data analytics to solve scalability and reliability problems in the NFV-based mobile (LTE/EPC) networks (PhD dissertation). I worked with Kobus who was my advisor. Besides my research, I helped Utah’s Flux team standing up the PhantomNet testbed (now has become the POWDER city-scale wireless testbed in Salt Lake City).
I am currently at Charter Communications’ Advanced Engineering working on network automation/orchestration.
