Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolStephen Ibanez is a Network Systems Architect based in Palo Alto with nearly a decade of experience designing high-performance, programmable network and NIC/IPU architectures at Intel. He has a strong research-to-product track record—translating academic work from Stanford and Harvey Mudd into practical systems for packet scheduling, transport reliability, and line-rate traffic management. His background includes internships across Google, Xilinx, Oracle, and Raytheon where he built tooling for SLO diagnosis, extended P4 programmability, and optimized low-latency MPI over InfiniBand. Stephen combines deep protocol and hardware knowledge with compiler and control-plane experience, enabling end-to-end programmability in modern networking silicon. A less obvious strength is his history of leading hands-on student projects and building measurement systems, showing he’s equally comfortable mentoring teams and shipping instrumented, production-grade testbeds.
