Summary
Koman Emarose is a seasoned network engineer with over a decade of experience building and securing large-scale datacenter and cloud networks, most recently advancing 400G testing, capacity scaling, and colo-to-AWS connectivity at Dropbox and Meta. He combines hands-on automation skills in Python and Ansible with deep operational expertise across Cisco, Arista, Juniper and F5 platforms to deliver repeatable KTLO procedures, TCAM carving, and complex migrations. His background spans strategic architecture and security hardening at Rackspace and Qualtrics, where he drove multi-vendor designs, enterprise 802.1x deployments, and configuration hardening.

Based in Fremont, CA, he pairs systems-level thinking with practical test methodology (IXIA-based 400G validation) to ensure networks meet both performance and reliability targets.
