Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPhilippe Guibert is a seasoned telecom and embedded systems engineer with over two decades of experience and a decade in software-focused roles, currently leading a routing team at 6WIND. He has driven end-to-end product lifecycles—from architecture and specification to integration, testing and industrialization—across multicore, virtualization and networking platforms. Philippe combines deep C and Linux expertise with automation and DevOps practices (Python, REST, Yocto, Jenkins) and has hands-on experience coordinating multisite and offshore teams in English. He has contributed to prominent open-source routing projects such as FRRouting, implementing protocol debugging and BGP features, and previously submitted patches to Quagga.
