Jonathan Brown
Systems Engineer · Satellite Communications & IT
I've spent two decades working across IT and network engineering. I started in high school as an Assistant Network Administrator, taught software for a year and a half (Instructor of the Month three consecutive times), ran PC infrastructure as IT Manager, then spent eleven years as a Field Service Representative supporting military communications systems around the world.
Today I'm a Systems Engineer focused on network engineering — software-defined networking with OpenvSwitch, VMware NSX, and VXLAN on top of virtualization platforms like Linux KVM and VMware ESXi.
