Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJeffrey Wildman is a Member of Technical Staff with 14 years of experience building and prototyping networking systems at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, blending hands-on implementation with IC and technical lead responsibilities. He holds advanced degrees in electrical engineering from Drexel University and has deep research roots from a multi-year fellowship and earlier internships where he developed simulation and emulation testbeds for wireless and routing protocols. Jeffrey’s background spans applied research and production-oriented engineering, including extending Open vSwitch for OpenFlow compatibility on commercial Cisco Nexus platforms and creating virtual network testbeds on UCS servers. He contributes to open-source tooling—authoring Homebrew formulae to bring virt-manager and virt-viewer to macOS—demonstrating attention to cross-platform developer ergonomics and build-system details. Colleagues rely on him to translate complex specifications into validated prototypes and interoperable software, often uncovering subtle protocol and integration issues before they reach deployment. Based in Cambridge, MA, he combines rigorous academic training with pragmatic systems engineering across networking, simulation, and automation.
