Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Summary
👤
SeniorTheodore Baschak is a seasoned network engineer and founder with over two decades of hands-on experience designing, operating, and troubleshooting multi-vendor IPv4 and IPv6 networks across home, enterprise, and ISP scales. A Mikrotik-certified IPv6 advocate since 2002, he runs AS395089, monitors Canadian BGP routing, and serves on the ManitobaIX board. He combines deep protocol expertise (BGP, OSPF, MPLS, VXLAN) with practical systems administration across Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD, and has led datacenter migrations and service-provider networks in remote communities. Theodore’s work emphasizes resilient, documented networks—anything from anycast DNS design to MPLS/VPLS architectures—and he’s comfortable both in low-level packet troubleshooting and high-level operational strategy. As founder of a consulting practice and with roles ranging from network architect to operations manager, he blends field experience with governance (Change Advisory) and vendor-agnostic design. A detail not obvious from titles: he’s actively involved in regional Internet exchange and routing stability, keeping a real-time pulse on national routing health.
