Niilo has significant telco experience (Diameter, SCTP) and has contributed to custom cloud and virtualization solutions (OpenStack, Open vSwitch, SR-IOV, DPDK), moving from VM-level troubleshooting to container networking with Docker. He routinely bridges hardware and software teams, visiting sites to validate systems and delivering pragmatic solutions from ASIC/DSP integration to cloud networking. An active tinkerer and occasional open-source contributor, his portfolio includes ARM- and OS9-related projects visible in public searches. Based in Finland, he’s known for solving timing-sensitive and time-synchronization problems in complex distributed systems.
