About Me
Hi, I'm Jero, a Software Engineer specializing in high-performance computing (HPC) and data center networking. My work focuses on RDMA/InfiniBand, SmartNICs, DPUs, and programmable network technologies, developing and optimizing systems software for high-throughput and low-latency. I'm particularly interested in how network programmability can improve performance, scalability, and efficiency.
