Summary
Kavi Jivan is a Lead Engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building embedded systems and cloud-native microservices, currently steering a Java Spring Boot/React stack on AWS/EKS at Pluribus Digital. He has deep expertise in C++, device drivers, Yocto-based Linux platforms and tooling, and a proven record delivering a $10M 5G platform ahead of schedule by instituting short iterations and tighter team communication. Kavi blends low-level systems work—bootloaders, kernel services, U-Boot enhancements and Qt GUIs—with higher-level automation like Python REST APIs, CI pipelines, and DNF-based update simplifications. Based in Las Vegas and educated at Virginia Tech, he thrives at the intersection of telecommunications hardware and cloud software, enabling reuseable platform services across teams. Notably, he reduced a large legacy updater from 4,280 to 661 lines and restored long-broken crash backtraces, demonstrating a knack for pragmatic refactoring and deep debugging.
