Projects

  • PTL: Integration/Test
  • Committer Integration/Test, Integration/Packaging, Releng/Builder, Autorelease

Statement of Intent

  • Test automation has always been important to me and I believe it is vital to any software project. As the PTL of Integration/Test I try to help drive high quality automated system test across all OpenDaylight projects which in turn helps deliver a higher quality OpenDaylight release. The top benchmark for deciding release quality resides on the automated tests run by the various OpenDaylight projects and supporting and that process will be a top priority.

Biography

Robert has been involved in OpenDaylight from its start, having co-authored the MD-SAL architecture and designing major portions of its implementation.

He is the overall top contributor on OpenDaylight and has contributed ~13% of all patches merged, touching majority of projects. He is a committer of a wide range of projects — odlparent, yangtools, mdsal, bgpcep, controller, aaa, netconf, vbd, infrautils and coretutorials.

His contributions tend to center around maven build system, overall architecture and high-level design (BGP, PCEP, OpenFlow Boron design, Virtual Bridge Domain), performance/stability-critical pieces of infrastructure and high availability. Examples of past contributions include the in-memory datastore, which boasts 100x performance advantage over available YANG-based datastores, and BGP and PCEP implementations, which offer performance on-par with leading routers and are now being extended to full feature parity by 3 companies working in the OpenDaylight community. His latest area of focus is Clustered Data Store, where he contributes to improving reliability and throughput and groundwork needed for in-service cluster upgrades.

His past experience includes 5 years in IT operations and 21 years of building network-related technologies, ranging from simple network elements to self-organizing distributed systems. In the past 13 years in his capacity as CTO of Pantheon Technologies its growth to 120+ engineers.
