Akash Balasubramaniyam

Broadband Software Engineer

I build RDK-B (RDK / RDKB) broadband gateway solutions — middleware in C/C++ on embedded Linux, remote device management (WebPA, WebConfig), networking and Yocto builds. I also explore AI-driven tools for issue triaging and root-cause prediction.
