Ankur Satle

Ankur Satle is an Architect working on Telecom products at EXFO. He has extensively worked on high-performance 3G/4G/5G/IMS/VoIP products, Network Monitoring, OSS/BSS monolith & distributed systems in his 19+ years of experience. He is currently exploring some new technology to build a Smart Data Platform for 5G/4G/3G Service Assurance & Network Monitoring.

He is a strong proponent of building functionality as build-once-and-use-everywhere libraries and building software capital on Open-source or InnerSource. He greatly values implementations that are easy-to-use-correctly, correct-by-construction, and minimalistic-that-enables-change. Distributed Architecture, Cloud Technologies and DevOps fascinate him. He holds a B. Tech. in Electronics and Telecom and a Post-graduate Diploma in Software Technology. An engineer at heart, he has a strong optimisation focus, using less resources and minimalism. No wonder, C++ is his favourite tool. He has a multi-codebase modernisation experience.

He loves learning languages - natural languages :). He has a fair grip on a few Indian languages and is currently learning French. A father of two, he loves outdoor activities, drawing and talking about cosmology with children. He loves playing football and watching thrillers & mystery movies. He is constantly learning something or the other, you may often find.

If you attended any CppIndia Tech-Talk, you will find him there hosting and sharing his thoughts. He is an active Organizer, Presenter and Maintainer at CppIndia. You can check out his talks from Cppcon 2020, Cppcon 2021 and CppIndia on YouTube. He is awaiting confirmation on his talk proposal for Cppcon 2022 also.
