I am currently leading a new company called Hedgehog to simplify SONiC with an open network fabric for distributed cloud workloads. I previously founded a mobile application platform called GoCanvas, and a mobile ride-sharing business 7 years ahead of its time called Mobiquity.

As organizations build private AI clouds to control costs and protect their data, they face a familiar dilemma: the trade-off between performance and operational simplicity. Hyperscalers (like AWS or Google) have both, but only because they have armies of engineers to build custom software that tames their hardware.
