Summary
Sourav Maji is a Senior Software Engineer with a decade of experience designing and building cloud-native security and networking software, currently advancing SASE capabilities at Cisco after leading SDN and virtualization efforts at Palo Alto Networks. He blends deep research from a PhD in High-Speed Computer Networking with hands-on platform engineering—having implemented high-rate flow identification engines, prototyped virtual routers at Ericsson, and collaborated to deploy algorithms in hardware. Comfortable across Golang, Python, Kubernetes, and multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, VMware), he focuses on low-latency packet processing, packet offload, and intelligent resource provisioning to remove performance bottlenecks. Sourav routinely authors detailed product specifications, drives cross-team delivery, and mentors junior engineers, bringing an academic rigor to practical production systems. A less obvious strength is his track record of translating passive NetFlow and real-time packet research into operational monitoring and anomaly-detection workflows used for large scientific data movements and security analytics.
