Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSrinivasan Venkatakrishnan is a Principal Software Engineer based in Bengaluru with nine years of experience designing high-performance data plane and forwarding features for networking products at Juniper and Alcatel-Lucent. He specializes in fast-path L2/L3 forwarding, QoS, VLAN bridging, MPLS tunnels and ATM pseudowires, with deep hands-on experience on network processors (IXP2x00, Wintegra) and ASIC interfaces. At Juniper he improved Contrail Controller flow-index and flow-table logic, fixing customer-facing flow eviction and index reuse issues and adding BGPaas support, showing strengths in both systems-level code and distributed controller interactions. Known for implementing packet filtering, VLAN stacking for service provider networks and integrated routing/bridging, he pairs protocol-level expertise with pragmatic bug fixes that make large systems more reliable. His background blends embedded dataplane optimization with backend controller work—a combination that helps bridge silicon constraints and cloud-native networking services.
