Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRohan Parulekar is a Principal Software Engineer based in San Jose with a decade of experience building cloud-native networking and security software for large-scale platforms. He currently designs NGFW services for Palo Alto Networks’ Prisma Access and previously enhanced orchestration and networking for Open RAN and Robin.io, blending deep protocol knowledge (BGP, OSPF, MPLS, IGMP/PIM) with container networking (CNI, Calico, Multus) and Kubernetes/OpenShift ecosystems. His background spans SDN, OpenStack integration, and automation—having developed CNIs, Nuage plugins, and Ansible-driven deployments—plus hands-on work with virtualization, traffic test tools, and firewall/CDN platforms at Akamai. Comfortable coding in C, Go and Python, he pairs low-level networking expertise with cloud orchestration to solve performance and isolation challenges in production. An uncommon strength is his breadth from network processor multicast microcode to SASE service design, enabling him to translate protocol-level constraints into scalable platform features.
