Madhu Rajagopal is a seasoned senior software engineer based in Auckland with 11+ years of professional experience and over a decade building communications and embedded systems in C/C++/C#. Currently driving NGINX development at F5, he combines deep protocol-level expertise (SIP, RTP, TCP/IP, IGMP) with hands-on work on ADCs and network appliances from his previous F5 and Allied Telesis roles. His background spans embedded firmware for diverse processors, signal-processing work, and full-stack service development using RESTful APIs and web technologies, reflecting an ability to move between low-level device constraints and cloud-native services. A longtime contributor to network-focused tooling and demos, he pairs practical proof-of-concept engineering with customer-facing support and product escalation experience. Known for pragmatic design and steady delivery, he brings electrical engineering training from the University of Auckland to solve both hardware-adjacent and large-scale network software challenges.
