Top SchoolBrian Bidulock is a veteran telecommunications engineer with 29 years of experience building carrier-grade protocol stacks, virtualized network appliances, and high-performance Linux kernel subsystems. As founder of the OpenSS7 project and creator of the unexicon Linux distribution and several window managers, he blends deep open-source craftsmanship with product and systems-level architecture for SDR, SDN, NFV and VNF deployments. His work spans SS7, SCTP/SIGTRAN, SIP, IMS and LTE through to modern cloud-native, Docker/Kubernetes and AWS solutions, often replacing legacy data-plane components with innovative host-accelerated alternatives. He has repeatedly taken protocols from standards and interoperability events into production, authored IETF drafts and patents, and shipped kernel drivers and real-time optimizations across Unix, BSD and Linux. Based in Edmonton, he couples hands-on coding (C/C++, React, mobile SDKs) with strategic platform design and zero-touch orchestration for fault-tolerant distributed systems. A less obvious trait: he routinely bridges low-level kernel engineering and operator-scale productization, turning century-old signalling protocols into cloud-first, maintainable appliances.
