Anurag Porripireddi is a Senior Software Engineer based in Sunnyvale with a decade of experience building reliable networked systems in C++, Python, and Go. He has driven production services and automation at Google’s Enterprise Networks and Gazelle projects, and now contributes to autonomous systems at Cruise. His open-source work on the FAUCET OpenFlow controller demonstrates hands-on expertise in SDN—fixing protocol edge cases, adding configurability, and expanding test coverage to improve network reliability. Comfortable across cloud native tooling (GCP, Kubernetes, Docker), CI/CD, and telemetry pipelines, he blends low-level networking knowledge with modern service engineering. Collected experience from telecom and optical domains to hyperscale networking gives him an unusual combination of protocol-level rigor and scalable deployment practice.
