Logesh Sakthivel

Staff Engineer

I validate and automate L2/L3 features on SAI-based enterprise switches. Before that I certified SDN controller releases at Verizon. Over nearly six years I have tested networking, wireless and IoT devices, and built the test frameworks and simulators around them.

show projects

Network device simulator

Emulates Cisco, Juniper and Nokia NETCONF devices from their YANG models and mounts them on an OpenDaylight controller. Developers and testers get virtual devices with browser-based SSH, so they don't wait for hardware.

FastAPI, ConfD, YANG, ODL, WebSocket, asyncssh

Test execution portal

A web portal for running sanity, feature and regression suites, with testbed management, run history and a built-in log viewer.

Django, Pytest, MongoDB

Protocol simulators

A Profinet traffic CLI in Golang, and a SCADA T104 packet library for building and parsing traffic. The SCADA proof of concept earned a Spot Award.

Golang, Scapy, Python

Hobby projects

TCP analyser with CLI and GUI, and an Android finance tracker, plus a few small command-line tools. The source is private for now. I'm preparing downloadable builds, including an APK for the Android app, and I'll add links here as each one is ready.

Status: source private, builds coming. Public repos on GitHub
