During his carreer at Orange, he was involved in various in-house developments and deployments, for example on Single-Sign-On platforms based on Liberty Alliance specifications or on IP Networks Monitoring systems relying on Netflow/IPFIX.
Guillaume joined Orange Labs transmission department in 2015 and the OpenDaylight Community in 2016. Since then, he has been actively promoting and contributing to it.
He is currently the PTL of the transportPCE project and is occasionnaly contributing to others projects such as BGPCEP and docs.

Ivan has been involved in OpenDaylight since 2016. He has contributed to several projects including: netconf, controller, yangtools, mdsal, sxp, docs, integration/test. Currently the majority of his contributions are targeted to netconf project. In addition he is also interested in yangtools and mdsal.

His activity consists not only of code contributions but also of code reviews for (mostly) first-time ODL contributors.

Ivan has been the project lead of the former self-managed SXP project in 2018 and 2019 and had successfully integrated it with Fluorine ODL release.

Experienced Senior Software Engineer with a demonstrated history of working in the information technology and services industry.

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, tcpmd5, 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 18 years of building network-related technologies, ranging from simple network elements to self-organizing distributed systems. In the past 10 years in his capacity as CTO of Pantheon Technologies its growth to 120+ engineers.

Venkatrangan is currently a committer to the Opendaylight and a Senior Test Engineer at Lumina Networks.

He has been contributing to Opendaylight since Hydrogen release.The contribution started with the VTN Project (currently archived), and then integration/test, releng/builder and the Netvirt Project.

He has participated in all phases of the project (vtn) from incubation to stable.

He has been instrumental in creating the openstack integration test for Opendaylight and also optimize fir reducing test execution times.
