I am currently a Machine Learning and AI Software Engineer at Facebook, NY. Prior to this role, I was with Intel Labs, where I worked on developing algorithms, software technologies, accelerators and processor instructions in several areas of computer science including security, cryptography, machine learning, computer vision, computer networking and router workloads. I have been one of the main inventors of Intel’s AES-NI microprocessor instruction set, as well as a developer of algorithms and software implementations for making the HTTPS protocol and its encryption suites fast enough to be deployable at a large scale in the Internet. This is a reality today (e.g., Facebook, Amazon, Google, Chase, Bank of America sites all use https:// by default). I was one of the first researchers to propose the concept of virtual networks with protocol suites and network services entirely programmed in software in 1999, which, together with my thesis advisor, called ‘Spawning Networks’. Now, similar networks are commonly referred to as Software-Defined Networks (SDNs) and their deployment is commonplace. I demonstrated the feasibility of the concept by developing a prototype as part of my Ph.D. thesis work at Columbia University. I have been an Intel Achievement Award (IAA) recipient, the highest honor for technical achievement awarded by Intel (2008) and have been a co-inventor of more than 68 granted US patents with another 15 pending.
