Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGowrishankar Muthukrishnan is a Principal Engineer with over a decade of deep expertise in Linux networking, NFV/SDN orchestration, and high-performance dataplane technologies across x86_64, ppc64 and ARM platforms. He has driven DPDK, ODP and Open vSwitch optimizations for cloud and carrier-grade deployments, and acted as a maintainer and practical advocate for PowerPC support in upstream DPDK. Comfortable from kernel internals (NAPI, TSO, LRO, RSS) to virtualization (SR-IOV, VirtIO, vDPA) and container networking, he is known for field triage of critical performance escalations and building tooling to monitor and troubleshoot complex OpenStack network stacks. Currently focused on CNXK drivers and DPU hardware offloads at Marvell, he combines hands-on C/C++ development with systems-level tuning and open source collaboration. An uncommon asset is his track record of enabling architecture-specific accelerations (Altivec intrinsics, fastpath memory optimizations) that measurably improve throughput on PowerPC systems. Based in Bengaluru, he pairs deep protocol-level knowledge (TCP/IP, IPv6, IPsec, 802.11 MAC) with practical delivery of scalable networking solutions.
