Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBerant Lemmenes is a Director of Solutions Architecture with over 20 years in networking and a decade focused on carrier-grade IP/MPLS and service provider systems engineering. He blends deep hands-on expertise in IP/MPLS/BGP/DWDM with modern DevOps and orchestration practices—using tools like Ceph, Prometheus, Ansible, Docker and Mesos—to make large networks observable, scalable and repeatable. He’s driven by a practical obsession with extracting higher-fidelity telemetry and context from infrastructure (rejecting 5-minute polling blind spots) to enable real-time correlation and analytics. At SoftIron and previously US Signal he has led product development, platform selection and teams delivering resilient carrier services, while personally building Python tooling to fill operational gaps. Based in Grand Rapids, he pairs operator instincts with systems thinking to bridge networking, storage and distributed event pipelines.
