Summary
🤩
RockstarKeith Wiles is a Principal Engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in high-performance network stack design and multicore acceleration for embedded and cloud-native systems. Based in Denton, Texas, he has built and optimized network stacks for VxWorks and led work on DPDK-based tools, including significant contributions to the widely used Pktgen-DPDK packet generator. At Intel he helped design CNDP, a cloud-native data plane that brings Intel architecture performance into CNF applications, and he routinely targets wire-rate throughput and minimal footprint for DO-178B and MILS-certified projects. His expertise spans IPv4/TCP/UDP implementations with socket support, multicore tuning for Cavium, Freescale, and Intel platforms, and precise latency measurement fixes in open-source tooling. Colleagues rely on him to turn demanding timing and certification constraints into pragmatic, production-ready network code. An engineer who bridges embedded RTOS certification requirements with cutting-edge data‑plane performance, he combines low-level systems craftsmanship with open-source impact.
