Top SchoolChristopher Bruton is a Senior Network Engineer with nine years of experience building and securing large-scale research and scientific networks across North America. Currently at CENIC he focuses on BGP, peering, and leading RPKI and MANRS routing-security initiatives for California’s R&E backbone. His background at Caltech and the University of Alaska Fairbanks blends hands-on fieldwork—designing IPsec VPNs, autonomous solar-powered station power systems, and multicast over AWS—with software tooling, including Python and Rust device provisioning and NetBox integrations. He is comfortable bridging lab-to-cloud operations and has deep domain knowledge of seismic instrumentation and remote network resilience. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic, production-first solutions that keep critical monitoring networks online during real-world events.
