Prabina Pattnaik is an Associate Director based in Hyderabad with five years of focused experience in telecom and network systems engineering, rising through hands-on roles in C, C++, Python and Go. She has deep expertise in 4G/5G control and user plane work, notably contributing to the open-source Magma project by implementing GTP support, multi-tunnel functionality and IPv6 enhancements within the Pipelined component for scalable mobile video and S8 tunnel APIs. Her background spans protocol-heavy system design (TCP/IP, SIP/RTP, MPLS, OSPF) and virtualization, honed at Wipro, Wavelabs and HCL across product and carrier projects. Prabina combines leadership as an engineering manager with continued individual contributor impact on critical open-source networking infrastructure, making her fluent in both architecture and low-level packet-path implementation. An underappreciated strength is her track record of translating complex telecom standards into pragmatic, production-ready code that interoperates with software-switching stacks like Open vSwitch.
