SOFTWARE AND NETWORK SYSTEMS
Hey, I’m Dheeraj
— a network software engineer.
M.S. Computer Science (Network Engineering) @ CU Boulder. Previously Production Engineer Intern (Network) @ Meta and SWE @ Versa Networks.
I build where packets meet platforms — from BGP / OSPF and Netmiko / NAPALM to high-concurrency Go services and event-driven multi-agent orchestration with MCP.
high-throughput Go + Cassandra services @ Versa Networks
MCP orchestration platform over WhatsApp / IG / FB / CDN @ Meta
