Senior🎓
Top SchoolTim Upthegrove is a Senior Research Engineer with over a decade of experience designing and delivering secure, high-performance networking systems, specializing in 5G, O-RAN, and tactical edge deployments. He has led distributed teams and acted as technical PM on NSF- and DARPA-funded projects, shipping Rust-based RAN controllers, NGAP implementations, and production-grade protocol and testbed tooling. His background spans low-level C/C++ network and routing code, Python automation for reproducible emulation experiments, and ML-assisted protocol/interoperability frameworks that speed development cycles. At Raytheon he bridged research and operations—managing SDR testbeds, DPDK-based NF performance tuning, and scalable Kafka-backed telemetry for forensic analysis. He combines rigorous academic training from Georgia Tech (BS/MS, CS, 4.0) with hands-on systems work, and has driven practical innovations like a Python code generator that cut protocol binding development time by 75%. Known for tackling messy integration problems, he often pairs systems engineering with lightweight ML or automation to make complex experiments repeatable and deployable.
