I have been involved with Opendaylight, since the "Hydrogen" release. I have worked extensively with the int/Test and Builder projects. I had been involved with VTN, BGPCEP, Netconf, ODLMicro, ODL NIC and so on.
I have also worked on many customer deployments with ODL as part of my employment with Lumina Networks and HCL Technologies. I am currently involved in a couple of projects that use ODL NEtconf for various use-cases.
I also frequently work with academic projects to use ODL for various new use-cases.

@Gilles Thouenon
Picture
Biography
Gilles has always worked on optical transmission and transport networks at Orange, occupying different jobs and working on different technologies (SDH, WDM, Ethernet, IP/MPLS, Network architecture optimization) before evolving towards the development. Gilles has been involved in OpenDaylight through his contributions to the TransportPCE project since the beginning of this project (2017). His contributions to TransportPCE are his early experiences in development, as well as with the development of an opensource project.
Gilles is currently the PTL of the TransportPCE project and also its associated dedicated model project (transportpce-models'), and therefore the majority of his contributions are related to these projects.
He managed the integration of TransportPCE as a "managed project" from ODL's Chlorine distribution.
