Senior🎓
Top SchoolParvez Shaikh is a seasoned software engineer with 8+ years building high-performance, system-level software across networking and cloud platforms, currently developing FBOSS at Facebook using modern C++ and distributed systems techniques. He brings deep expertise in C/C++, multi-threading, system programming, in-memory databases (TimesTen), and networking protocols—from TIPC to MPLS—demonstrated by his contributions adding MPLS QoS, ACLs, and label handling to the opencomputeproject/SAI. His background spans virtualization and orchestration at Cisco (OpenStack, SR-IOV, VNF orchestration), high-availability clustering and disaster recovery frameworks, and low-level backup and filesystem work at Symantec. Based in Menlo Park, he thrives in meritocratic, technically rigorous environments and frequently blends Python and shell automation with core systems code. Notably, he pairs template metaprogramming and traffic monitoring at hyperscale with hands-on troubleshooting of OpenStack networking, showing both deep theory and practical operational skill.

Contributions summary:Parvez primarily contributed to the implementation of MPLS-related features within the SAI (Switch Abstraction Interface) project. They added new hash fields for MPLS labels and implemented MPLS QoS maps, enabling the configuration of traffic classes and colors. Further contributions include the addition of MPLS ACL filters and the provision of TTL and QoS treatment during MPLS encap and decap, and implementation of additional port interface types including CR2/SR2. These changes focused on enhancing the functionality and configuration options for MPLS traffic management within the SAI framework.
