Mike Fink is a Software Engineering Manager in the San Francisco Bay Area with 11 years of engineering experience building reliable, high-throughput network management and telemetry systems at Arista Networks. He leads a small team that gathers and processes sFlow telemetry in a proprietary C++ DSL while also contributing to a Go-based CVP division that handles large volumes of stateful configuration data across distributed systems. Mike emphasizes quality through rigorous testing in Go and Python and brings practical experience across C++, hardware-level programming, build infrastructure, and network protocols. His unusual background as a patent and trademark lawyer sharpens his concise communication and cross-team collaboration, helping him onboard quickly and clarify complex requirements. Curious about AI, he blends hands-on engineering with systems design and a disciplined, test-first approach to shipping robust network software.
