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.

Selected projects

RDK-B Remote Method Invocation (POC)

RBUS · Parodus · Cloud → Device

2025

Implemented cloud-initiated RBUS method invocation via Parodus to invoke device methods (e.g., reboot, diagnostics). Designed JSON method payload parsing and RBUS routing logic.

Custom Yocto Router Image

Yocto · Bitbake · QEMU

2024

Built a minimal Yocto distribution for an ARM router target, integrated custom packages and created recipes for embedded network utilities.
