Senior🎓
Top SchoolGerry Kavanagh is a Principal Engineer and Architect based in Ireland with over 12 years of deep experience across networking, Unix/Linux, telecoms/VoIP and cloud-native infrastructure. Currently at Hewlett Packard Enterprise after a long tenure at Ericsson, he blends systems architecture, HA clustering, and security-focused CI/CD to deliver resilient telecom platforms. He has hands-on expertise with OpenStack, Kubernetes, VMware, RHEL, and enterprise storage, and has driven third-party product approvals and NG platform security risk assessments. Gerry’s background spans consulting and early-stage CTO responsibilities, giving him a strong mix of practical engineering and strategic leadership. He holds a bachelor’s in Computer and Information Systems Security and is known for turning complex telecom and infrastructure requirements into auditable, production-grade solutions. Unusually for an architect, he remains deeply technical—frequently implementing automation and provisioning pipelines himself rather than delegating.
