Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPetros Gkigkis is a Lead Engineer and Principal Investigator based in London with 11 years of experience designing high-performance networked systems and measurement platforms. He holds a PhD in Networked Systems from UCL and has applied his research to production-grade tooling that validates ingress traffic using XDP, eBPF and DPDK, notably through the open-source OpenPenny project funded by RIPE NCC. Petros has a track record of building scalable, commodity-hardware solutions for adversarial environments—from ISP ingress validation and BGP hijack mitigation to anycast feasibility studies at Cloudflare and outage detection improvements at ThousandEyes. He combines academic rigor with hands-on engineering, shipping microservices and schedulers that operate under strict bandwidth and hardware constraints. An understated strength is his ability to translate measurement research into operational tooling that reduces noise and improves signal for real-world network operators.
