Summary
Ayush Bhardwaj is a Lead Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building and scaling backend systems across SDN, edge computing, and large-scale microservices. Currently at Akamai, he architects platform compute infrastructure, mentors engineers, and has hands-on experience deploying service meshes and microservices in Go and Python. His research background from Brown University includes eBPF instrumentation, Kubernetes digital twins, and DeepRL for AIOps, giving him a rare blend of production engineering and academic rigor. He has a strong optical and networking research pedigree from roles at CONNECT Centre and the University of Edinburgh, and has shipped kernel-to-cloud prototypes that quantify availability and security trade-offs. Always curious, he treats cross-domain reuse as a research problem—asking how and when solutions can be CTRL+C/CTRL+V across distributed systems—and enjoys turning those questions into polyglot prototypes.
