Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlok Kumar is a Staff Software Engineer with over a decade of experience building carrier-grade networking software, currently shaping Junos manageability for MX routers and containerized control planes. He brings deep systems and protocol expertise—C/C++, Python, Linux, BRAS, PPP/L2TP/DHCPv6 and board bring-up—gained across Juniper, Cisco, and Sonus working on both virtual and hardware routers. At Cisco he led XRV9K infra efforts and owned complex platform initiatives like boot/install and FPGA/PCIE integration, while at Juniper he delivered customer-facing BRAS and subscriber-management features end-to-end. Alok is also an experienced trainer in Linux, C/C++, Python and data structures, which complements his hands-on mentoring and cross-functional leadership. Comfortable moving between low-level device bring-up and higher-level manageability (gRPC, licensing, containers), he reliably bridges customer needs and platform engineering. Based in Bengaluru with an IIIT Hyderabad CS degree, he combines production-focused rigor with a knack for translating networking standards into deployable solutions.
