Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolKevin Croussore is an Optical Transport Network Engineer with deep expertise in coherent optical communications, spanning hardware design verification, DSP impairment mitigation, and end-to-end line system controls. He has led experimental and analytical investigations for long-haul, metro and data-center interconnects, driving performance characterization for 40G–500G products and next-generation 200G/400G coherent transceivers. At Infinera he built and automated complex optical testbeds, managed cross-functional teams and a >$1M annual test budget, and delivered interoperability and customer demonstrations; he now applies that hands-on systems experience at Google. Kevin’s strengths combine rigorous academic training (PhD in Optics) with practical lab leadership in nonlinear optics, amplifier technologies and flexible-grid ROADM systems. He is especially skilled at translating nuanced experimental results into actionable architecture and firmware guidance to improve reach and reliability. Based in Sunnyvale, he brings both deep photonics theory and tangible engineering impact across product life cycles.
