Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMrinal Dhillon is a systems software engineer with 11+ years building cloud-native networking and storage solutions, specializing in disaggregating carrier-grade network OS into platform-agnostic microservices and CNFs. At Juniper Networks he helped fuse high-performance forwarding planes with cloud-native control planes—extending Junos to Azure SONiC, enabling hybrid multi-cloud transit, and containerizing Junos Evolved for Kubernetes and third‑party NOS. A polyglot who codes in Go, C/C++, Python and Lua, he combines deep Linux kernel and networking expertise (netlink, eBPF, packet I/O) with practical platform work in Terraform, Kubernetes and cloud providers. He’s equally comfortable designing low-level OS integration and architecting multi-cloud orchestration services, and he enjoys tackling the messy edge where hardware, containers, and cloud meet. An academic background (MS CS, 3.8 GPA) and prior work on POSIX-compliant cloud backup and Fuse-based filesystem stacks underline his breadth from systems internals to large-scale network services.
