Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJason Wright is a veteran kernel and systems engineer with 23 years of experience building device drivers, network stacks, and virtualization internals for Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD. He has deep expertise in Layer 2 networking (Ethernet, FDDI, Token Ring, 802.1D) and Layer 3+ protocols, and has experience delivering production-grade drivers for a wide range of hardware including PCI, SBus, USB, and cryptographic accelerators. Jason co-authored a bluepill hypervisor and has applied his low-level skills to security work at Idaho National Laboratory and in cyber research roles, bridging research and operational needs. He now combines academia—teaching programming, networking, and databases—with consulting and principal engineering at his own firm, bringing practical, bare-metal insight into classrooms and applied projects. Based in Idaho Falls, he’s equally comfortable tracing packet flows in kernel space as he is mentoring students on systems programming, a blend that keeps his tooling and teaching tightly coupled.
