Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrey Ter-zakhariants is a Principal Software Development Engineer based in San Jose with 25+ years designing and delivering high-availability, scalable distributed systems across industries from cable and video to virtualization and networking. He blends deep systems-level expertise—consensus algorithms, scheduling, JIT/dynamic translation, full-chip virtualization and peripheral modeling—with hands-on C/C++/Python and cloud-native tooling like Kubernetes and Docker. At Harmonic and Verizon Media he architected virtualized CMTS/Cable OS subsystems, real-time schedulers, and in-service upgrade mechanisms, leading cross-functional teams through Agile at scale. His career uniquely spans embedded real-time platforms (VxWorks, Linux kernel) to large distributed services and network management (SNMP, YANG), giving him rare end-to-end product perspective. Known for pragmatic architecture and operational focus, he often bridges low-level simulation and silicon-aware software with modern orchestration and high-availability patterns.
