  • Represented Group - Technical Committee
  • Short Biography: I am a current member of the TC and the ARB as well as running the infrastructure team meetings. I have been deeply involved in Tungsten Fabric since the beginning of the community "reboot" as well as involved with OpenContrail before that as an architect coordinating AT&T's Contrail feature enhancement roadmap.
  • Statement of Intent: My focus is on the architecture and feature planning as well as the CI system and ensuring that potential contributors are able to successfully learn how the tools and processes work in order to be able to contribute code (including test code as well as documentation) and see it become part of a release.

  • Represented Group - Technical Committee
  • Short Biography - I am a Distinguished Engineer at Juniper Networks. I am a current member of TSC and ARB (Architectural Review Board) of Tungsten Fabric. Additionally, I am a TSC member of Akraino Edge project (OpenSource project under Linux Foundation).

    I was instrumental in helping develop Tungsten Fabric technical charter, as well as the blueprint process. I am, and have been, ATC (Active Technical Contributor) to several OpenStack projects. I have chaired and co-chaired multiple teams in OpenStack and have driven multi-project architectural integration – generally a huge challenge in Open Source world. I have been actively involved in Open Source world for 6+ years.

    In the past life, I have worked for several successful startups which were either acquired or had successful IPOs. Additionally, I have worked for several large corporations in the architect role where I have driven architectures that resulted in multi-billion portfolios. Some of these names include Arista Networks, F5 Networks, Cisco, etc. I was winner of Pioneer Award in Cisco – highest technical achievement award, and several others.

    I hold several patents in the area of Hierarchical Datacenter topologies, Hybrid Cloud, High Availability, Disaster recovery using distributed deployments, etc. 

  • Statement of Intent: My focus is in two parts; First to contribute to the Architecture and planning of Tungsten Fabric, and second to be the champion for the TF community. I am presently collaborating with many projects/vendors/operators to integrate Tungsten Fabric into many remote edge solutions to expand the scope of Tungsten Fabric community. Additionally, I host several Tungsten Fabric Developer Summits to help (and on-board) developers into the Tungsten Fabric community. As a TSC member, I intent to continue to do this.
