Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLogan Mcnaughton is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in telco engineering with 13 years of experience across cloud, networking and Linux systems. Based in Utrecht, he focuses on building secure, reliable and automated integrations between 5G applications and OpenShift, often pairing Kubernetes and CI/CD tooling with Ansible and Terraform. He brings CCNP networking expertise and hands-on cloud experience across Azure, AWS, vSphere and Kubernetes, plus practical SCADA/industrial network knowledge. At Red Hat he helps partners troubleshoot complex Linux/OpenShift issues and integrate their automation stacks, while prior roles combined RF analysis, network automation and virtualization administration. An active open-source contributor, he has contributed low-level fixes and Web/Emscripten optimizations to prominent emulator projects like RetroArch and GLideN64, demonstrating uncommon depth in graphics, cross-platform builds and performance tuning. That blend of telco-cloud engineering and emulator-level systems work highlights a pragmatic engineer who often bridges kernel-to-cloud technical gaps.
