Summary
Danis Fermi is a production-focused software engineer with 9 years of experience specializing in computer networking, systems and security, currently based in Sunnyvale and working at Meta. He has driven high-performance dataplane and networking features at Intel—implementing Ethernet, QoS and IPsec in DPDK-based user-space pipelines across multiple 5G base station generations and squeezing gen-over-gen throughput gains up to 44%. Equally comfortable in security and DevOps, Danis served as a Security Champion triaging 500+ static and binary analysis findings, running audits, trainings and embedding DevSecOps practices across dozens of projects. He builds automation end-to-end: from Python/TCL benchmarking and unit-test frameworks to CI/CD and SDL tooling—reducing test development time by half and enabling faster performance regression triage. His background in MS-level computer networks and hands-on work with P4 on Barefoot Tofino and ML models for traffic prediction highlights a rare blend of low-level packet expertise and data-driven optimization. Outside the obvious, he has a track record of translating large-scale pcap data into practical network models and measurement frameworks that directly inform architecture changes.
