Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPooja Doijode is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Jose with three years of focused experience building resilient, high-performance control-plane and routing software at industry leaders like NVIDIA and Cisco. She has deep hands-on expertise in BGP, EVPN, SRv6/SRTE and IPv6 — contributing not only to proprietary systems but also to the widely used open-source FRRouting project by improving bgpd EVPN behavior, JSON command outputs, and IPv6 next-hop handling. Her background includes designing multithreaded, containerized network processes, resolving race conditions and memory corruption issues, and prototyping observability tooling for large-scale routing systems. Trained in computer networks (USC) with early embedded and automotive safety work, she blends low-level networking protocol rigor with pragmatic engineering for production systems. Notably, she has implemented MPLS-to-SRv6 interworking and on-demand next-hop policies, demonstrating a knack for bridging legacy migrations and modern segment-routing deployments.

Contributions summary:Pooja primarily contributed to the BGP daemon (bgpd) within the FRRouting project, focusing on enhancements and bug fixes related to EVPN (Ethernet VPN) and IPv6 routing. Their work included modifying the display output for BUM (Broadcast, Unknown Unicast, and Multicast) flooding in 'show bgp l2vpn evpn vni' commands and adding a new field for VXLAN flooding to maintain backward compatibility. Additionally, the user addressed a bug where BGP was not updating the next-hop when a global IPv6 address was configured on an unnumbered interface and corrected an issue related to freeing the nexthop node. Furthermore, they added JSON support for the "show nexthop-group rib" and also enhanced "show bgp nexthop" command with json and detail options.
