👤
SeniorKevin Smith is a Senior Technology Strategist and Distinguished Engineer with over two decades of experience shaping mobile internet standards, architectures and product innovations across consumer, enterprise and M2M channels. At Vodafone since 2006 he has combined hands-on design and development with cross‑functional leadership—delivering portal, payments, search and content interfaces across 20 countries and ten major releases of Vodafone live!. A former chair of the GSMA OneAPI working group, he led delivery of seven API specifications and practical tooling that transitioned into ongoing industry governance. His current focus blends network API standards, non‑IP protocol analysis and privacy-preserving smarter traffic management to prepare networks for 5G and beyond.
