Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Su is a Principal Software Engineer with over 14 years of experience designing, deploying, and hardening large-scale telecom and data center systems, currently driving platform work at Fortinet in Sunnyvale. He brings deep expertise in OpenStack-based private cloud design and zero-touch bare-metal automation, having led multi-hundred-node deployments for enterprise and research customers. A networking specialist, Sam has 10+ years working with large IP networks and Huawei VRP, and he pairs that domain knowledge with hands-on DevOps skills (Cobbler, Chef, HAProxy, Keepalived, DRBD, Nagios, Open vSwitch). He excels at translating customer requirements into functional designs and ship-ready automation, often owning both specification and implementation. Colleagues rely on his strong analytical troubleshooting and field-deployment experience that bridge lab prototypes to production operations. Less obvious: he has repeatedly integrated diverse open-source components to remove single points of failure and enable scalable, monitored OpenStack clusters.
