Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLiam Fallon is a Principal Engineer at Ericsson Software Technology with decades of experience architecting and implementing network management and automation systems, now focused on open-source Network Automation and ONAP. He led development of pioneering tools from Ericsson’s first packet analyzer for the AXE switch to scalable Java-based job schedulers and adaptive policy engines, and continues to drive the model-driven Policy Framework in ONAP. Liam blends hands-on implementation with system architecture—he routinely leads both design and delivery, ensuring ideas survive into deployed systems and live network trials. He led the APEX adaptive policy engine into the Linux Foundation ONAP project and is one of Ericsson’s most prolific ONAP code contributors, active in the Control Loop subcommittee and the TOSCA Control Loop PoC. Based in Athlone, Ireland, he combines applied research in analytics, AI/ML and policy with practical productization experience, holding a PhD in Computer Science and an MSc in Software Engineering. His career-long habit of staying involved from specification through deployment means he specializes in turning advanced modelling and policy concepts into reliable, production-ready automation frameworks.
