Steven Walter possesses expertise in telecommunications, ip, voip, network design, mpls and 10 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "For YouTube, streaming videos reliably and cost effective is a core requirement, and was a constant concern. Steve has done an marvelous job of shaping Google's global networks to the point where his most demanding customer no longer has to worry about the network. If you understand global networking, you know there are some pretty complex situations, and Steve has made progress around the world, even where nobody believed things ever could be done. Steve has great work ethic, great judgment on technology (and accounting for it), and an always positive, cheerful personality. At this point I know that the necessary network capacity will be there as YouTube needs it, no matter where in the world." and "Steve took me from the east cost (Virginia) and through me in the middle of the country (Colorado). Steve was the manager who hired me at Level 3. I love Colorado, so Steve you have my gratitude for this. The best time I had working and being challenged in my life was when I worked for Steve. I know a lot of other people who feel the same. Steve is a great manager and a fantastic friend; I miss working with him every day. Steve you are the BEST! Love you man."
