Nominee’s bio and/or LinkedIn profile
I have worked in and around the ONOS community for about 2 to 3 years. When I was first introduced to ONOS it was before ONOS had opened it source code to the public; which gave limited opportunity for Ciena to work directly with ONOS. While Ciena supported ONOS, at that time Ciena started to develop with OpenDaylight (ODL). About 1.5 to 2 years ago Ciena shifted its technology focus from ODL to ONOS. Since this shift, my focus has been helping to manage the hardening of ONOS in preparation for a Ciena production release as well as help with the development of the CORD solution.
What are you actively working on in ONOS?
My current active contributions (code) are focused on the CORD solution. I am engaged in ONOS through the team I manage that works to harden ONOS as well as team members that work on the virtualization brigade. I take an active role in terms of setting direction and course correction for the hardening team. This team has done some very important work including discovery and resolution work on clustering issues and event ordering issues. This team is also working on performance evaluation and general stability of ONOS under long running, high stress scenarios.
Why do you feel you would be a good candidate for this position?
The short answer is that I have the outside perspective that is focused on producing a carrier class, production release. I bring the alternative perspective to a lot of architecture discussion, focusing on how to provide a quality core while providing the ability to independently develop solutions on top of ONOS.
