Summary
Lev Shvarts is a Principal Engineer with 8+ years of focused experience building high-performance networking and cloud-native systems, currently driving PaaS security and connectivity at Aviatrix while co-founding EdgeXR to simplify distributed application lifecycle management. He brings deep systems expertise in Go, C/C++, Kubernetes, Linux/BSD kernel modules, virtualization, and routing/switching protocols, having designed distributed monitoring and traffic-steering platforms at MobiledgeX and worked on Netvisor and NX-OS earlier in his career. Lev excels at troubleshooting and performance tuning across user-space multithreaded applications and kernel modules, and he repeatedly bridges low-level OS work with cloud orchestration. He favors pragmatic automation—turning AI “hype” into reliable, one-click deployable services—and has a track record of making complex distributed pieces operate smoothly in multi-cloud environments. Based in San Jose and trained at UT Austin, he combines protocol-level rigor with product-minded architecture to deliver resilient infrastructure. An under-the-radar strength is his ability to move between kernel, networking stack, and cloud control planes, enabling end-to-end optimizations few engineers can execute.
