Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAleksandr Maslennikov is a Senior Cloud Engineer with nine years of experience building low-latency, high-throughput networking for GPU-heavy AI clusters, currently at NVIDIA in Germany. He combines deep systems and C++ backend expertise from his time at Intel—where he led the VTune profiler backend migration to microservices—with hands-on work in kernel-adjacent networking like SR-IOV and DevLink. An active contributor to the k8snetworkplumbingwg/sriov-network-device-plugin, he improved testability and added switchdev-aware SR-IOV providers, reflecting a focus on production-grade, maintainable infrastructure. Aleksandr’s work sits at the intersection of hardware-aware networking and cloud-native orchestration, making network stacks keep pace with accelerators. He holds strong academic credentials in automated information processing and management systems and often bridges low-level device details with scalable distributed services.
