Chester, England, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAidan Copeland is an experienced software engineer with eight years designing and delivering resilient, high-scale networking protocol software across cloud and edge environments. He has repeatedly led complex integrations—most recently on Microsoft’s private 5G core and WAN integrations—combining deep protocol expertise (BGP, MPLS, RSVP-TE, IP routing) with hands-on Rust, C/C++ and Scala development. As a pragmatic Scrum Master and technical lead he drives teams to ship production features, specs and proofs-of-concept under tight timelines, including customer-driven IPsec and BGP flowspec work and a patented packet-matching approach. Known for clean, well-organised code and thoughtful design, he also shortens delivery through smarter architecture choices (e.g., more efficient UI schema support). Outside work he brings the same long-term commitment to hobbies—running a tabletop roleplay campaign for years and exploring Britain and Europe—reflecting a blend of technical focus and creative leadership.
