1/ Academic with 100+ peer reviewed papers with 3000+ citations, who probably never read the papers.

2/ Decided to do something better with life. Kicked off a startup, which was acquahired by another startup, which was acquired by VMware. Ended up being one of the first Directors of Engineering in VMware's Cloud Native BU.

3/ Went to AWS. Launched SDN controllers for all WAN traffic (backbone and internet). Launched Internet monitoring, for internal use cases and externally as a GM.

But I still hadn't found what I was looking for.... So kicking off another startup now.
