Michael Smith Email & Phone Number

Michael Smith is a Board Member at Seattle Internet Exchange. He possess expertise in data center, networking, network engineering, network design, network architecture and 35 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Mike is the quintessional technology person. In a world of people who simply parrot acronyms Mike is one of the rare few that has extensive experience with the building blocks of modern networks and has truly bridged the "digital divide" between the layers of the taco. Mike can help otherwise brilliant people with limited understanding of technology understand the business implication in a manner that does not patronize. In my opinion there are few people on the planet who can operate with Mike's degree of competence logged on to a network device or providing meaningful input to business owners about how to leverage technology.", "I have worked with Michael in several capacities. We are both on the board of the Seattle Internet Exchange, and on the board of NewNOG / the North American Network Operators' Group. Michael has been singularly dependable, exceeding everyone's expectations on each and every project he has ever taken on board. I honestly cannot think of anything I would not trust him to complete on time and under budget. His technical competence is unquestioned in his fields (plural) of expertise. And he also has that rare ability to say "I do not know" when it is outside his scope - something I wish more people in the technology field would learn. If I had a position available in the Seattle area, I would not hesitate to extend an offer to Michael. He really is that good.", and "Michael has visionary technical and business leadership qualities. Balance is critical between vision and execution. Mike exceeds in all these areas."

Listed skills include Data Center, Networking, Network Engineering, Network Design, and 36 others.
