Sergio Gutierrez is an Assistant Professor and Ph.D. computer scientist with 17 years of experience bridging academic research and telecom engineering, focused on Software Defined Networking and programmable devices for data center networks. He has led R&D and technical product development in major Colombian telecoms, integrating open source and proprietary platforms (Cisco, Huawei, Ericsson) and delivering large-scale OSS/IMS/VoIP systems. As a researcher he has held postdoctoral and lecturing roles and now leads research in INTERACT and the Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering Department at Universidad de Antioquia, while chairing IEEE ComSoc Colombia. Sergio is also an active open-source contributor to core SIP infrastructure (OpenSIPS uri_db), where his backend work improved reliability and observability—an example of his knack for turning protocol-level insight into production-grade components. His background spans low-level networking, security (IDS/DoS detection) and enterprise middleware, making him comfortable across research, operations and systems integration.
