Hey, I'm Shahid! I studied computer engineering at The University of Texas at Austin and graduated in 2019, and have since been working as a software engineer at Arista Networks, which builds cloud networking solutions for data centers. There, I'm on the software-defined networking team, where I work on VXLAN (extending Layer 2 virtual domains over an underlying Layer 3 physical network) overlays. I'm also part of the inaugural batch of the Contrary Fellowship, a diverse and selective community of early-career engineers, designers, and product minds.
Here is my resume. You can reach me at me@shahidhn.com, or through the various links in the sidebar.
