Resume

I'm a software engineer at Arista Networks, in Santa Clara, CA working on firewalls, specifically writing drivers and implementing features using the PMF (Programmable Mapping and Filtering) block and TCAM (Ternary Content-Addressable Memory) in Broadcom network ASIC's.

In my free time, I like messing around with compilers and computer graphics.
