Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrandon Chuang is a software engineer based in Sunnyvale with 11 years of experience building SDKs, embedded runtimes for FPGA/HAPS platforms, and integrating ML models into production workflows. He combines startup agility with low-level systems expertise, having contributed thermal management and fan-control logic to Open Network Linux and added power/reset and CPLD/EEPROM integrations for multiple SONiC switch platforms. At Expedera he’s focused on model tooling, containerized workflows, and heuristics, blending ML ops with embedded systems know-how. His background includes tutoring and technical leadership at UCSC’s DRC, where he translated accessibility needs into practical tool support. Brandon’s work shows a rare cross-domain fluency: he ships both hardware-adjacent firmware changes and higher-level ML infrastructure.

Open Network Linux - An Operating System for Bare Metal Switches
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Back-end DeveloperContributions:39 reviews, 86 commits, 165 PRs in 6 years 5 months
Contributions summary:Brandon implemented fan failure checking and thermal plan mechanisms, incorporating thermal sensor readings into the system's operational logic. These changes involved modifying low-level system code, specifically within the `thermali.c` file, adding features related to fan control and thermal management. The user's work is focused on the bare metal switch's operating system, enhancing its ability to monitor and respond to thermal events. This resulted in changes to the code responsible for reading thermal sensor data and for controlling the fans to maintain optimal operating temperatures.

Scripts which perform an installable binary image build for SONiC
Role in this project:Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT Developer
Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT DeveloperContributions:1 review, 21 commits, 42 PRs in 2 years 11 months
Contributions summary:Brandon primarily contributed to the `sonic-buildimage` repository by adding and modifying code related to the low-power mode (lpmode) functionality for various Accton switch platforms, including AS7712, AS7326, AS7816, AS7726-32X, AS6712-32X, AS5712-54X, AS7512, AS7312-54XS, AS7312-54X, AS7716-32X and AS7326-56X. This involved modifying the `sfputil.py` files within the specific device directories to interface with CPLD and EEPROM. Additionally, they added platform-specific modules and configurations related to hardware control and monitoring. The user also contributed to adding support for reset features.
