Top SchoolWill Fantom is a DevOps Engineer and PhD researcher in computer networking with eight years’ experience building cloud-native telemetry and testing systems that help network operators adopt software-driven infrastructure. Based in Lancaster and currently at Arm while completing a PhD at Lancaster University, he designs and implements network microservice architectures using unikernels, containers and micro-VMs to enable responsive scaling and developer-friendly observability.
