Senior🎓
Top SchoolPawel Foremski is a Senior Research Scientist and Internet engineer with a PhD and over 15 years of hands-on experience building high-performance distributed systems in C, Go and Python for Internet measurement, security and analytics. He blends academic rigor—authoring papers, patents (e.g., Entropy/IP) and speaking at ACM IMC, IETF and RIPE—with practical engineering, having led BGP analytics, Flowspec-based DDoS mitigation, DNS streaming analytics and large-scale IPv6 scanning projects. Pawel has repeatedly translated research into production: designing BGP ingest pipelines for 10k+ sessions, streaming databases, and real-time mitigation platforms at companies like Kentik, Farsight and DomainTools. He combines deep protocol-level knowledge (BGP, DNS, TLS, IPv6) with machine learning expertise from his PhD in traffic classification, allowing him to spot and remediate subtle infrastructure risks. Based in Poland, he also brings entrepreneurial experience from founding and operating a wireless ISP and shipping network products, a background that surfaces in his pragmatic, operations-minded research.
