Nazarii Hnydyn is a C/C++ software developer from Ukraine with seven years of experience building and hardening network and platform software, particularly for the open-source SONiC ecosystem. He has contributed across backend, system, and DevOps areas—adding protocol fixes, test automation, firmware management tools, and buildimage improvements—demonstrating a practical blend of low-level C/C++ work and Python-based platform utilities. His contributions include improving switch state services, adding CoPP unit tests, and replacing legacy tooling in test helpers, showing attention to robustness and maintainability in carrier-grade networking code. Prior roles involved protocol-heavy daemon and library development (TCP/UDP/IP, SIP, ASN.1) and hands-on system engineering in Linux environments. He holds honours degrees in System Engineering and Computerized Automatic Systems from Lviv Polytechnic, and often pairs firmware-level insights with automation to reduce operational risk.
