Top SchoolPramodh Dsouza is a Sr. Principal Engineer based in San Jose with over two decades of hands-on experience building carrier-grade networking software across enterprise, data center, and service provider markets. He excels at architecting and simplifying complex systems—SD-WAN, SDN/NFV, network virtualization and distributed controllers—bringing products from concept to production in startups and large organizations alike.

Holder of 13 patents, he is equally comfortable resolving escalations with customers and translating their needs into engineering requirements that drive measurable product impact.
