Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEvan Hunt is a seasoned software engineer with nearly two decades focused on UNIX kernels, networking stacks, and systems utilities, currently a core maintainer of BIND 9 at Internet Systems Consortium. He brings deep, hands-on expertise in DNS/DNSSEC, DHCP, and kernel-level networking developed across long tenures at ISC and SCO, where he shaped OpenServer network architecture. Proficient in C, shell scripting, Python and Tcl, he is comfortable working from low-level kernel code to networking protocols and operational tooling. Based in California, Evan combines steady open-source stewardship with practical product maintenance—his resume and project history reflect a preference for durable, well-audited engineering over flash. An often-overlooked strength is his sustained focus on backward compatibility and stability in critical infrastructure, a trait that underpins his contributions to widely deployed DNS software.
