Qiaobin Fu is a Staff Software Engineer and technical lead at Google with 11 years of experience building and optimizing data center and cloud networking systems. A Boston University PhD candidate advised by Prof. John Byers, he blends research-grade algorithm design with production engineering across network-aware scheduling, joint network/compute/storage optimization, TOR management, and load balancing. He has a track record of shipping high-impact network infrastructure at Google after multiple internships there and at Facebook, and mentors projects including Google Summer of Code. Beyond corporate work, he contributed to the open-source DDoS protection system Gatekeeper, implementing core packet handling, IPv4/IPv6/ICMP support and performance optimizations such as memory prefetching. Based in Sunnyvale, he brings an unusual combination of deep academic networking research and hands-on systems performance tuning to large-scale operational environments.

Contributions summary:Qiaobin's primary contribution involves implementing the core functionality of a DDoS protection system. The commits showcase the addition of crucial network initialization codes within the `lib/net.c` file, alongside the integration of an initial "GK" block. Subsequent work includes the addition and configuration of a LuaJIT submodule with supporting setup commands. Further development includes enhancing the system by adding support for IPv4, IPv6, and ICMP packets using various ACLs and flow rules as well as including the implementation of memory prefetching to optimize performance.
