Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKevin Laatz is a software engineer with a decade of experience focused on network and container networking software, currently contributing to Intel Shannon from Ireland. He specializes in low-level, performance-sensitive systems programming and has a track record of fixing compatibility and build issues across evolving DPDK releases, evidenced by contributions to the widely used collectd project. His tenure at Intel includes an internship on container networking that evolved into a full engineering role, blending academic rigor from a B.Sc. in Computer Science at University College Cork with practical production work. Earlier work at UCC automated medical student placement processes, showing an ability to turn manual workflows into reliable systems. Kevin combines deep C-level troubleshooting with a pragmatic approach to maintaining long-lived infrastructure components. He brings steady, behind-the-scenes engineering discipline that prevents build failures and keeps critical telemetry and networking stacks working across platform changes.
