Andrew Yourtchenko
Andrew Yourtchenko works as a Principal Engineer in Cisco, in his day job contributing as a committer and a release manager to VPP (http://fd.io) and running the continuous release operations infrastructure internally for the projects that depend on it. He started his Cisco career in TAC in 2000.
You may also know him by his work on RFC6555 (“Happy Eyeballs”), or, the video at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v26BAlfWBm8 . He might be blamed for the idea of FOSDEM main WiFi being unapologetically IPv4-less (and for dual-stacking WiFi at some other large events), which resulted in RFC7772.
Network automation for event networks is a 10-year long passion - it gives an opportunity for “just in time coding extreme” in Rust, hands-on work, and great friendships!
He is CCIE#5423 Emeritus in Routing&Switching and Security.
