My work at DreamHost provides me a unique perspective of deploying Quantum at scale using both IPv4 and IPv6.  Working for a deployer also reinforces my desire for a vibrant, multi-vendor ecosystem within Quantum.

During my career, I have developed and deployed network applications based on the same underlying libraries as Quantum.  I started contributing to Quantum during the Essex development cycle.  In Folsom, I was promoted to core and was the primary developer of the DHCP implementation and Quantum's network namespace library.
