Summary
Yao-po Wang is a Senior Staff Software Engineer with over 16 years building high-performance Linux networking platforms across device, edge, and cloud environments, now leading system and data-plane efforts at Netskope. He brings deep kernel-adjacent expertise—DPDK, VPP, OVS, FRR—and a proven record of squeezing multi-core and NIC offload performance for carrier-grade SD-WAN/SDN/NFV products. Comfortable as a Principal Engineer and Feature Team Lead, he owns platform architecture, performance tuning, and cross-team delivery for mission-critical networking stacks. His career spans embedded radio firmware, switch OS and boot bring-up, and cloud-native edge orchestration, reflecting a rare blend of low-level systems work and Kubernetes-era integration. Notably, he has implemented in-house scaling and traffic-generation tools that revealed real-world bottlenecks (20Gb packet generators on modest cores), underscoring a hands-on focus on measurable throughput and reliability. Based in Taipei, he pairs C/Golang/Python fluency with strong observability and CI/CD practices to harden production networking platforms.
