Summary
Santhosh Gunturu is a software engineer with a decade of experience specializing in computer networking, SDN/NFV, and L2 protocol development for high-performance, microservices-based network operating systems. He has driven protocol implementations and scale optimizations at Ciena—improving CFM session capacity 10x and frame processing to 20K fps—while currently contributing to networking infrastructure at ByteDance in Mountain View. His toolset spans Netconf/YANG, Google Protocol Buffers, ZeroMQ, Redis, Docker, Yocto, and low-level debugging/trace tools (Valgrind, LTTng), reflecting comfort across embedded, systems, and cloud-native environments. Past QA and automation work at Alcatel-Lucent gives him a practical test-first perspective that informs robust, production-ready designs. A USC-trained networks specialist with strong scripting and performance-tuning instincts, he combines protocol-level depth with hands-on optimization that often yields order-of-magnitude improvements.
