Exploring Software Defined Networks and protocol design. Building systems that are fast, correct, and programmable — from control planes to full-stack applications.

Research Focus

Networks as
Programmable Systems

I work at the intersection of Software Defined Networking and network protocol research — asking how we can decouple the intelligence of a network from its physical substrate to make infrastructure adaptive, verifiable, and observable.

Outside research, I build production-grade systems with the MERN stack and bring a competitive programmer's obsession with correctness and performance to every line of C++ I write.

🔀

Software Defined Networking

Control/data-plane separation, OpenFlow, programmable forwarding pipelines, controller design.

📡

Network Protocol Design

Custom protocol specification, transport-layer optimisation, congestion control, formal verification.

⚙️

Distributed Systems

Consensus, fault tolerance, and high-throughput networked applications at scale.
