Network and firmware engineer. I work on secure boot for Qualcomm and OpenWrt platforms at Quantum Networks, and spend most of my own time in the Linux data path and on infrastructure I run myself.
Lately that's been xdp-bfd, a BFD engine that keeps its timing under load that makes normal BFD daemons flap, and the fixes it produced in FRRouting's BFD daemon.
