Top SchoolBrandon Spendlove is a telecommunications consultant and seasoned network engineer with 11 years’ experience designing, deploying and automating ISP-grade networks across the UK. He has led network architecture and automation at fast-growing altnets like YouFibre and Community Fibre, delivering IPv6 rollouts, EVPN-ready cores, MPLS L3/L2 VPNs and telemetry-driven monitoring. Brandon combines deep protocol-level enthusiasm—RFCs, packet formats and fibre strands—with practical skills in building APIs and tooling that streamline provisioning and improve subscriber experience. Now consulting for veesix ::networks, he focuses on systems, automation and operational reliability for ISPs while remaining an avid Linux and flight-sim fan who prefers thinking in frames and packets rather than sales pitches.
