Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOwen Chiaventone is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building high-performance networking and distributed systems, currently contributing to Microsoft Azure after a multi-year tenure at SpaceX. He led core networking efforts for Starlink’s Direct-to-Cell EPC, implemented a Serving Gateway using XDP/eBPF, and drove global routing, fault tolerance, and deployment strategy for a planet-scale service. Earlier roles combined hands-on RF, hardware fixture design, and test automation to help mature Starlink from prototype to reliable service, plus CI/CD and simulation tooling that enabled frequent, safe network updates. A Missouri S&T alum with dual Computer Science and Computer Engineering backgrounds and a 4.0 GPA, Owen blends deep systems-level expertise with practical integration and mentoring experience. He’s as comfortable debugging embedded electronics and motherboards for rover teams as he is architecting Kubernetes-based networking simulations and production kernel-accelerated datapaths. Quietly curious and pragmatic, he once “made a network” and turned that tinkering into resilient infrastructure used at global scale.
