Network Architecture,
Dataplane & Protocol Engineering
I don't configure networks as much these days...
...I build the systems that design, build, validate, and ultimately run them.
Expertise
Architect of high-performance dataplanes, control plane protocols, and automated overlay platforms. Core developer on Cisco's fd.io VPP project.
Scope
Dataplane Engineering
High-performance packet processing with XDP/eBPF, AF_XDP, VPP, and SIMD-accelerated forwarding. Zero-copy architectures for line-rate policy enforcement.
Protocol Development
Control plane protocol implementation: BGP, EVPN, SRv6, WireGuard, 802.1X, BFD, LACP, PIM, LISP. Identity-based segmentation and policy enforcement at line rate.
Network Automation
Design and implement automated network provisioning, configuration management, and deployment pipelines using Python, Ansible, and modern orchestration tools.
Infrastructure as Code
Transform network infrastructure into versioned, testable code using Terraform, GitOps workflows, and CI/CD pipelines for network deployments.
Security Integration
Embed security practices into network automation workflows, implement zero-trust architectures, and automate compliance monitoring.
Observability & Monitoring
Design comprehensive monitoring solutions with real-time visibility, automated alerting, and performance optimization for network infrastructure.
