Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFabien Duchêne is a software engineer with 15 years of experience specializing in networking, Linux kernel development, TCP and Multipath TCP, currently based in Cupertino and engineering at Apple. His background combines academic depth—a PhD in Computer Systems Networking and Telecommunications from UCLouvain—with hands-on SRE and software roles at Apple and internships at Google. He has taught operating systems, networking and introductory programming for a decade, translating research insights into practical implementations and pedagogy. Early work as a network administrator designing load balancing systems and later SRE experience give him a strong operational sense for building resilient, high-performance systems. At Apple he has moved from site reliability into core software engineering, reflecting a shift from maintaining large-scale services to shipping deeper platform or kernel-level features. Colleagues can expect a methodical engineer who bridges rigorous research, teaching experience, and production-grade networking expertise.
