Top SchoolChris Luke is a Sr. Principal Engineer and Network Automation Architect with over 30 years building and operating large-scale IP networks, currently shaping Comcast’s move to programmable, OpenConfig-driven automation. He combines deep systems-level experience—kernel contributions to Linux and FreeBSD and work on routing daemons like Bird and Quagga—with pragmatic network engineering, having designed global backbones and led capacity and peering strategy at Easynet. At Comcast he architects common abstractions, improves app/network interactions, mentors engineers for software-driven operations, and serves as an active open-source committer/reviewer on FD.io VPP. He has chaired the OpenDaylight Advisory Group and advised the Linux Foundation Networking user group, bringing real-world operational perspective to open-source networking projects. Outside of networking he’s a hands-on maker—embedded systems tinkerer and hobbyist woodworker/laser user—reflecting a practical, build-first approach to solving complex infrastructure problems.
