Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Fairley is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building reliable, scalable network and systems software, currently working at Meta after a multi-year tenure at Cisco where he contributed EVPN features to IOS XE and led design and test efforts for BGP/EVPN-based redundancy. He holds a B.A.Sc. in Computer Engineering from the University of Toronto and combines low-level C systems work with automation in Python and Bash, plus hands-on experience in Go and Rust from his time at Red Hat. Robert has a demonstrated knack for reducing test hardware needs by virtualizing data-plane tests and for diagnosing complex SW/HW sync issues from trace logs and core dumps. He also brings embedded-electronics and startup experience—winning the Lacavera Prize for a startup demo—so he comfortably spans firmware, OS internals, and network control-plane software. Colleagues rely on him for mentoring new hires and turning intricate distributed-network requirements into practical, well-tested implementations.
