Summary
🤩
RockstarDave Taht is a network performance engineer with 14 years of deep, hands-on experience reducing latency across the internet through algorithms, standards work, and embedded systems. He is best known for practical queue management innovations such as fq_codel and CAKE and for applying those ideas to WiFi, Linux, and OpenWrt deployments. Dave combines rigorous packet-capture analysis with public speaking and standards engagement to move theory into real-world, widely deployed solutions. Based in Los Gatos, he blends systems-level coding with volunteer leadership in open-source communities. Notably, his work reflects a rare focus on both algorithmic design and the gritty engineering required to ship on constrained devices. He remains driven by the hope that his sustained technical and community contributions will continue to shape a lower-latency internet.
