At Comcast he architects common abstractions, improves app/network interactions, mentors engineers for software-driven operations, and serves as an active open-source committer/reviewer on FD.io VPP. He has chaired the OpenDaylight Advisory Group and advised the Linux Foundation Networking user group, bringing real-world operational perspective to open-source networking projects.
