Re: [dssa] "introductions" thread

[Arturo Servin <aservin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, my turn.

        I have been working in Internet stuff since 1996 as network engineer. 
First working with dial-up, then LAN environments and finally with BGP. I also 
worked in the deployment of the Internet2 network in Mexico back in 1999. Up to 
2005 I worked in enterprise environments playing with security, VoIP, wireless 
LAN, BGP and other routing protocols. In the last few years I been researching 
Internet security with some flavours of machine learning. Today I am now 
working for LACNIC as CTO and I am one of the representatives from the NRO. 

        The most updated info about me in Linkedin (I used to have a webpage 
but I haven't updated it)
