Expertise

I have worked on topics from distributed system performance monitoring and debugging, to Internet routing protocols, to real-time media platform design and implementation. I have worked in a variety of roles, from high-level platform architect, to designer and implementer of complex networked systems, to website designer and builder. I have consulted and worked for a broad range of companies, including startups (μ, S, M, L) and corporates (M, L) in both the US and UK. Following the acquisition of Unikernel Systems by Docker Inc., I currently contract with Docker Inc.

I do occasionally undertake other consultancy and development work – contact me if desired.

Background

In 2001 I completed my Ph.D., “Internet Traffic Engineering” with the Systems Research Group at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory. Since then I have worked as a researcher with the IP Group, Sprint ATL; the Systems & Networking Group, Microsoft Research Cambridge; and most recently I was founder at Vipadia Limited (technology acquired by Voxeo Corp).

Outside work I practice Wudang Tai Chi Chuan, and taught for the Cambridge University Tai Chi Chuan Society for several years. I am also a keen, if woefully out-of-practice, classical guitarist.
