Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRicardo De Soto is a seasoned telecommunications and edge computing leader with 10+ years of experience in designing, prototyping and productionizing cloud-native networking and NFV solutions. At Red Hat’s Office of the CTO he drives emerging technologies at the intersection of AI and edge — from MicroShift (a compact OpenShift for edge devices) to on-device inference and Small Language Models — while leading high-skill teams and contributing to upstream projects like Akraino. His background spans research stints at ESA and top universities, multiple patent applications and co-authored papers, and deep hands-on expertise in Kubernetes, SDN and CNI integrations (notably kube-scheduler and Flannel work in MicroShift). Comfortable in multicultural, academic and product settings, he combines tactical engineering with strategic architecture to enable field-deployable distributed systems.
