Summary
Abhiram Ravi is a technical leader and software engineer at Google with 14 years of experience building the network infrastructure that powers global data centers, WANs, and AI fabrics. He specializes in taking zero-to-one ideas and shipping them across the full stack—from NIC and switch hardware pipelines to kernel and user-space networking stacks and large-scale SDN control planes. As co-inventor and lead for Congestion Signaling (CSIG), he led a 30+ engineer cross-functional effort to move the technology from concept to at-scale production and industry standard adoption across multiple ASIC vendors. His work focuses on reliability, efficiency, scalability and performance, and has directly improved workload performance for strategic partners like Anthropic, LG AIR, and Magic on GCP. Trained at IIT Madras (B.Tech Hons, M.Tech), he combines deep systems-level expertise with standards-driving industry engagement (UEC, OCP, IETF, IEEE), an uncommon mix that accelerates hardware-software co-design in high-performance AI networking.
