Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolSourav Dutta is a Principal Engineer with over a decade of experience designing and debugging embedded systems and high-performance network products for companies like Broadcom, Cisco, and HPE Aruba. He combines deep protocol-level expertise (VXLAN, EVPN, OSPF, BGP, multicast) with low-level systems skills in C/C++, UNIX/Linux internals, RTOS, multicore platforms and network processors. Sourav has driven production features across NOS and switch platforms—optimizing OVSDB performance, enabling asymmetric VXLAN upgrades, and implementing FIPS/MACsec solutions—while routinely tackling core dumps, race conditions and line-card hot reload issues. He is comfortable across hardware families (Broadcom, PMC-Sierra, Cisco, Brocade) and test/tooling ecosystems (IXIA, valgrind, GDB, Smart-Bits), which lets him bridge silicon, firmware and NOS layers. Based in San Jose, he pairs pragmatic Agile delivery with open-source contributions to Open vSwitch/OpenSwitch and Yocto-based workflows. A less obvious strength is his history of creating portable, scalable protocol implementations and automated test suites that sped interoperability and certification across multiple commercial switch platforms.
