Senior🎓
Top SchoolSridhar Samudrala is a Principal Software Engineer with 25+ years of deep expertise in Linux kernel networking, virtualization, and performance engineering, now based in Austin. He has driven kernel-level features and offloads—maintaining Linux SCTP, enabling SR-IOV live migration, and designing match-action and switchdev integrations to accelerate OVS and NIC hardware offloads. Sridhar blends hands-on patch-level open source contributions with leadership of globally distributed teams, shipping upstream kernel and distro-ready features for KVM, virtio/vhost, VXLAN, and advanced TCP/UDP/SCTP work. At Intel and previously IBM he led projects that moved networking capabilities into hardware and distros, improving latency, scalability and live-migration behavior for cloud and switch platforms. Notably, his work spans both protocol internals (IPv4/IPv6, netfilter, bonding) and practical system solutions like Application Device Queues and prioritized accept queues that directly improve real-world performance. He holds an M.Tech in Computer Science from IIT Kanpur and a long track record of upstreaming complex kernel patches.
