Senior🎓
Top SchoolMani Amoozadeh is a Senior Staff Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building scalable networked systems from prototype to global production, currently leading infrastructure and simulation efforts at Upscale AI. He blends hands-on systems design, applied research, and software craftsmanship across Network Operating Systems (IOS-XR, SONiC), network simulation/virtualization, automation frameworks, and AI/ML infrastructure. At Cisco he shipped QEMU-based simulation for Silicon One NPUs, built a widely used Python automation suite (CATS) invoked thousands of times monthly, and designed telemetry for 400k monthly simulations—demonstrating an unusual mix of low-level ASIC driver work and large-scale orchestration. His academic background and research in vehicular networks and VANET-enabled autonomous-driving features inform pragmatic designs for HIL simulation and V2X systems. An active contributor to OMNeT++’s INET framework, he has improved routing protocol implementations and TCP/OSPF configurators—showing both protocol-level depth and production-grade tooling instincts. Based in Walnut Creek, CA, Mani is known for turning complex networking theory into reliable, deployable infrastructure.

Role in this project:
Backend Developer
Backend DeveloperContributions:237 commits, 20 PRs, 55 comments in 1 year 5 months
Contributions summary:Mani primarily contributed to the INET Framework, focusing on the implementation of networking protocol features. They addressed compile warnings, fixed bugs in the AODV routing protocol, and refactored routing entry structures. Moreover, the user added parameters to the IP and OSPF configurators and implemented the creation and management of TCP connections. The user also made improvements to OSPF by adding features like interface modes and route handling.
