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. Automation from the inside out — built by someone who designed the dataplanes and protocols being orchestrated.
