Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndriy Yurkiv is a pragmatic software engineer with five years of experience building and testing networking software and utilities, primarily around open-source SONiC network OS and C++ Linux-based systems. At PLVision he blends backend development, DevOps and test automation—converting Ansible tests to pytest, adding unit tests, and extending CLI and build tooling—to improve observability and reliability of switch software. His contributions to prominent SONiC repositories include VXLAN enhancements, priority-group drop counters, and counterpoll CLI features, showing a strong leaning toward low-level networking telemetry and infrastructure. Earlier roles involved embedded and networking stacks (TCP/IP, DHCP, GRE, IPv6) and firmware-adjacent work, giving him hands-on experience across kernel-adjacent C/C++ and Python test frameworks. Based in Lviv with a Master’s in Applied Mathematics and Informatics, he pairs rigorous analytical training with practical automation skills to turn complex network behaviors into verifiable, maintainable tests and tools.
