Summary
Chris Cheng is a seasoned network and systems engineer with nine years of hands-on experience troubleshooting networks, OS, and hardware, now extending into cloud, automation, and software via Python tooling. As a Senior Member of Technical Staff at Spirent Communications, he designs protocol load and malicious traffic tests, automates lab workflows, and recreates complex bugs for engineering using deep packet inspection with Wireshark.
