Senior🎓
Top SchoolAshwath Chandrasekaran is a Software Engineer Technical Lead with 12 years of experience building networking and policy infrastructure at Cisco, based in San Jose. He specializes in translating complex network-focused features—like Policy Compute Engine, Policy Based Routing across multisite ACI fabrics, and First Hop Security—into robust, production-ready implementations, including porting Python stacks to Go. Comfortable across layers from device-level diagnostics to controller policy, he has driven both portability (32-bit to 64-bit migrations) and high-availability routing features (HA and ECMP). His background spans embedded diagnostics and diagnostic toolchains to cloud-native policy services, giving him a pragmatic systems perspective few engineers maintain. A strong academic foundation with a CS master’s from UC Irvine complements hands-on experience shipping cross-team features at scale. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic technical decisions that bridge legacy device constraints and modern, language-migrated infrastructure.
