Thank you Paul! Hello everyone, as a candidate I wanted to write an e-mail and introduce myself to all of you.
I am Antonios Chariton, I live in Zürich, in Switzerland, and I’ve been in the routing & BGP space for about 10 years now. I started as an enthusiast, and I’ve been operating a personal AS for over 6 years, measuring over 1’700 direct BGP neighbors as of today, with presence in prominent European IXPs. The plan is to get this number to > 2’000, increasing reach, connectivity, and performance :) I’ve also been in the IXP space, running Free IX ( https://free-ix.net/ ) with a few friends, including specifically the new island in Greece. Free IX is collection of IXPs with no setup or recurring fees, and Free IX NET is a service to interconnect them, and bring small and medium ASes in Europe closer together. We want to make the space more accessible and more reliable for everyone. Professionally, I worked as a Security & Privacy Researcher in the Academia, I am a recovering CISO, startup founder, spent a few years working on Internet Security at Google, and then finally found my first routing-related job, leading a part of Cisco’s R&D dedicated to BGP and Routing among other things. I have blogged and presented my personal research or operational experience extensively on technologies such as IPv6, RPKI, BGP, etc. ensuring open and free access with the aim of improving these areas for everyone. With that, I’d like to invite you all to reach out privately or publicly with any questions you may have. My intention is to help the Routing WG with this candidacy, and volunteer time and resources running it. Despite the short list of candidates, I think it will do just fine, though :) Thanks, Antonis > On 3 Oct 2024, at 16:48, Paul Hoogsteder <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear Routing working group, > > As promised two weeks ago I'm going to announce the candidates, I'll leave > it to them to introduce themselves and the working group to discuss.
