Summary
Hussamuddin Nasir is a systems and research engineer with over a decade of experience building and operating national-scale network testbeds, currently serving as Systems Professional III at the University of Kentucky. He leads administration and technical development for GENI and contributes to the next-generation FABRIC testbed, blending hands-on network engineering with instrumentation and measurement tool development. His background spans Linux/Unix systems, Cisco networking, virtualized environments, and scripting in Python, Perl, and PHP, with a track record of designing and maintaining complex server infrastructures and testbed code. He has been the technical point of contact with major GENI stakeholders and has driven multiple GENI research projects such as GEMINI, GeniDesktop, Choicenet, INSTOOLS, and Shadownet. Comfortable moving between low-level network protocols and higher-level orchestration, he brings rare institutional knowledge of academic networking testbeds cultivated over long-term roles at a single research university. Colleagues rely on him not only for technical delivery but also for clear communication and coordinated stakeholder engagement.
