Summary
Akshat Tekriwal is a Senior Software Engineer with eight years of experience building resilient infrastructure and platform solutions across cloud and networking domains. He has deep hands-on expertise in kernel upgrades, forward proxy/PKI and MITM tooling, eBPF/IPTables/IPSet, and containerization pipelines using Bazel, OCI/ORAS and Kubernetes. At Aviatrix he shipped L3/L4 gateway load balancers, egress FQDN control planes and an on-box access control system, and now contributes to infrastructure-focused work at Crusoe. Comfortable across systems, networking, and CI/CD, he pairs low-level OS/network engineering with pragmatic platform automation to keep services deployable and rollback-safe. Based in Champaign, IL, he also brings a track record of teaching and coordinating large events, reflecting strong communication and operational discipline. Not obviously visible from titles alone, he blends kernel and networking depth with production-grade release engineering.
