Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJohn Bond is a Principal Infrastructure Engineer with 14+ years of expertise in DNS, networking and security, currently leading DNS infrastructure at ICANN while running his own consultancy. He has deep operational experience across critical Internet services (L-root, K-root, RIPE/NCC tools) and a strong automation pedigree demonstrated by substantive contributions to the widely used puppetlabs-stdlib module. Comfortable across systems, firewalls, monitoring and big data stacks, he blends hands-on packet-level networking with large-scale service reliability practices honed at Wikimedia Foundation and RIPE NCC. He’s equally fluent in legacy and modern platforms—from *BSD and Solaris to Linux and Windows—and often solves problems by scripting across toolchains rather than relying on a single vendor solution.
