Summary
Satish Karunanithi is a Chief Architect with over a decade of experience designing high-performance networking and edge computing platforms, currently leading architecture at Kochava after senior roles at Huawei. He has deep expertise in SDN/NFV, intent-driven networking, software-defined data planes and distributed systems, and has architected ETSI MEC MEP, objective-driven cloud core platforms, and log analytics for O&M systems. A hands-on engineer with extensive C coding background, he combines system-level knowledge (UNIX internals, BGP, VxLAN, PCEP, NETCONF) with cloud-native practices including Kubernetes, OpenStack Neutron, OVS, FD.io (VPP) and multus CNI for multi-tenancy. Satish is an active open-source committer and module owner in ONOS and FD.io, co-authored several IETF drafts, and holds patents in SDN PCECC and ACTN—evidence of his ability to translate research-grade networking concepts into production platforms. Colocated in Bengaluru, he brings a rare blend of protocol-level expertise and cloud-native architecture skill, often bridging low-level data plane innovations with operator-facing management and analytics.
