About Cangjin

I am a Senior Network Architect with 18+ years of experience across telecom, enterprise, and data center environments.

My focus today is on modern data center and AI infrastructure, combining deep networking expertise (EVPN/VXLAN, MPLS, multi-vendor environments) with automation (Python, Ansible) to build scalable and reliable systems.

I have worked extensively with large-scale production networks, including backbone, data center fabrics, and security architectures, with hands-on experience in troubleshooting complex environments and delivering practical solutions.

I have recently been focusing on AI/HPC data center networking, including NVIDIA-based infrastructure, RDMA concepts, and distributed workload communication.

Typical areas I support:

• Data center design and transformation

• Network architecture and optimization

• Automation-driven infrastructure

• Complex troubleshooting in production environments
