Senior🎓
Top SchoolNitin Kumar is a Customer Solutions Architect based in Bengaluru with 12 years of hands-on experience delivering network automation, telemetry, and operational intelligence solutions across multi-cloud and large enterprise environments. He combines deep engineering skills—Python, Netconf/REST, SaltStack, Ansible, and Junos automation—with field-facing roles at Juniper where he translated customer requirements into product features and enablement for Paragon/HealthBot. Nitin has a strong open-source footprint, improving test coverage and reliability in projects like py-junos-eznc, ncclient, Salt, and Juniper’s ansible-junos-stdlib, including work that boosted Device test coverage from 44% to 95% and managed release/versioning tasks. At Selector AI he applies that blend of product, engineering and customer success to drive platform adoption and integrations for performance-sensitive managed services. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic automation designs that bridge proxy modules, ephemeral config workflows and telemetry ingestion—skills honed by years of building infra that converts device RPC/CLI to time-series JSON for analytics.
