Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Smith is a Distinguished Engineer with over two decades of experience designing large-scale Internet, cloud, data center and AI-enabled networks, currently shaping network architecture at Arrcus and teaching systems engineering at the University of Pennsylvania. He has led network strategy and architecture at industry leaders including Comcast, AWS, Oracle, Juniper and Cisco, driving converged metro-to-national designs and cloud-first telco transformations now widely deployed. Known for blending systems disaggregation, automation-first principles and progressive control/data plane designs, he translates complex service-provider requirements into operational, scalable solutions. A Philadelphia-based technologist with an executive MSE from Penn/Wharton and deep hands-on roots from early ISP engineering, he pairs academic teaching with real-world impact across carrier and cloud ecosystems. Less obvious: his GitHub bio hints at a playful linguistics bent, signaling a pragmatic engineer who still enjoys the human side of technology.
