Casey Barker
Summary
👤
SeniorCharles Barker is a Principal Engineer with 15+ years of experience building high-performance networked systems, from startup firmware to Google-scale SDN and data-center telemetry. He blends deep protocol and embedded expertise (Wi‑Fi, mesh networks, OpenFlow, drivers, bootloaders) with modern cloud and systems engineering practices, having led transitions from C to Go and containerized deployment pipelines. At Cisco he broadened product scope into host forensics with a portable, multi-architecture telemetry agent; at Google he scaled multi-gigabit 3D point-cloud pipelines and pioneered automated hardware-in-the-loop testing for network switches. A pragmatic technical leader and hands-on individual contributor, he excels at turning ambiguous requirements into production-ready designs while mentoring teams and improving developer velocity. He holds 29 U.S. patents and a history of inventing market-moving features that led to acquisitions and new product lines. Unusually for a principal engineer, he also designs and flies amateur suborbital sounding rockets, reflecting a taste for physical systems and data-driven experimentation.
