Senior researcher. Internet data analysis, and open data access and collaboration.Broad roles:* Data analysis: Expert on network measurement, and network data analysis. We collect network responsiveness, topology, and DNS data, in addition to k-root analytics.* Data access: championed and led public access to RIPE Atlas data via Google BigQuery.* Public outreach: multiple research papers, RIPE Labs articles, talks to NOGs, engineering, & research conferences, and talks given to research groups with academic collaborators.• Active collaborator with external research institutions. Multiple successful peer-reviewed publications at top measurement conferences.* Awarded the IMC2018 community contribution award for our paper on top-million lists.• Community service: peer-reviewer for submissions to the Research and Academic Collaboration Initiative (RACI), SIGCOMM CCR, the IRTF Applied Networking Research Prize (ANRP), and other venues.• Co-chair for our lightning talk series to encourage cross-company collaboration.Published on IPv6 deployment, IPv6 measurement, traceroute multipath behaviour, NTP leap second behaviour, and more.

La Jolla, Ca, Us

Academic sabbatical, summer 2019.Invested in learning GCP BigQuery as a platform to analyse network measurement data for research and network operations, but also to eventually provide better public access to the full datasets.

Running the IPv6 program. Mismanaging IPv4.• Led IPv6 deployment across web and mobile properties, in and between colos and DCs, and on Yahoo's cloud infrastructure.• Coordinated many complex, disparate projects, with the goal of ubiquitous IPv6.• Responsible for architectural decisions around IP space usage and IPv4 reclamation.• Ran long-running measurement projects to track IPv6 deployment in eyeball networks; involved big data analysis of http access logs.• Managed deployment on yahoo.com, {login, edit, help, hsrd, finance, search, answers, local, geo, comet}.yahoo.com + country-specific subdomains for each, Flickr image serving, Flickr uploads, Tumblr image serving, Messenger, plus mobile content.• Pushed and tested IPv6 deployment on internal cloud infra.• Drove expansion of IPv6 CDN footprint.• Wrote the internal standards governing deployment of new services/apps.• Network performance: worked on numerous complex network performance issues, often with users in multiple regions.

I worked on the software agents used by Boundary to monitor network flows on thousands of hosts. I was team lead for the successful development of a clean-room metering platform.I defined and extended the set of network metrics to include TCP statistics on loss, retransmissions, RTTs; I also implemented NTP support to stabilise clock offsets, built STUN-based public IP address resolution, handled packaging on all platforms, and handled customer support for all platforms.
