Summary
Avaneesh Kadam is a Senior Principal Engineer based in California with 11 years of experience designing carrier-class embedded systems and networking infrastructure. He has deep expertise across 3G/4G (UMTS, LTE/SAE), I-WLAN, protocol stacks and OS-level software, and has repeatedly led delivery of high-impact platform components from packet-core elements to IOS-XE infrastructure. At Cisco he built scalable telemetry, log and analytics pipelines and pioneered ISSU and patching infrastructure (patented), and he now applies that systems-level perspective at Palo Alto Networks. Known for technical breadth and innovation, he combines protocol-level rigor with production-focused engineering—often owning end-to-end solutions that bridge device telemetry, time-series analytics, and on-device processing. His background in both carrier platforms and enterprise network OS gives him a rare cross-domain view useful for building resilient, measurable networked systems.
