Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRobert Pluim is a Senior Consulting Systems Engineer with 15+ years' experience in pre-sales networking and telecoms, specialising in IP protocols (SIP, RTP, TLS, IPsec, IMS) and real-world deployment of routers, switches and SBCs. He blends hands-on protocol and systems development in C/C++ and Python with clear, audience-tailored technical communication—equally comfortable discussing high-level architectures with product teams or debugging low-level packet flows. At Fortinet he supports complex PoCs, RFPs and product feedback loops, drawing on earlier roles at Acme Packet and Nortel where he managed production issues and built carrier-grade VoIP and routing software. His background implementing telecom protocols on constrained mobile platforms gives him a practical edge when designing resilient, resource-aware solutions. Based in the Greater Nice area and trained in physics at Imperial College, he brings analytic rigor and a systems-first mindset to pre-sales engineering and cross-functional collaboration.
