About
Hello! I'm Uğur Pekesen, a Network Security Engineer and Systems Architect with deep expertise in Rust, Go, and enterprise networking. I specialize in building ultra-high-performance systems and securing critical network infrastructure handling massive traffic volumes.
As a Network Security Engineer, I've architected and implemented carrier-grade network solutions using Juniper, Cisco, Nokia devices. My experience includes designing and securing networks that handle 400Gbps+ throughput, implementing advanced routing protocols, and managing large-scale MPLS deployments. I've led critical projects including:
- Designing ISP-grade network architectures supporting millions of concurrent connections
- Implementing BGP optimizations for multi-homed networks with 10K+ routes
- Developing custom network automation tools in Rust for real-time traffic analysis
- Building high-availability solutions with sub-second failover using VRRP and OSPF
- Securing enterprise networks with advanced threat detection and prevention systems
In systems development, I specialize in Rust and Go for high-performance, mission-critical applications. I've built systems that handle extreme loads:
- Developed a Rust-based network telemetry system processing 1B+ pps
- Created a high-frequency trading platform in Go handling microsecond-level latencies
- Built resilient microservices using Rust that process 200M+ daily transactions
- Implemented custom protocols and network tools for specialized enterprise requirements
- Architected real-time data processing pipelines managing 50TB+ daily throughput
My infrastructure expertise centers on OpenStack and cloud-native technologies. Notable achievements include:
- Designed and deployed an OpenStack cluster managing 1000+ compute nodes
- Implemented software-defined networking solutions for multi-region deployments
- Created custom SDN controllers in Rust for automated network provisioning
- Built next-generation web applications with Next.js handling millions of daily users
- Developed high-performance monitoring systems with microsecond-level precision
I'm particularly passionate about network optimization and high-performance computing. Recent projects include:
- Custom Rust-based network analysis tools for 100Gb+ networks
- Advanced BGP route optimization algorithms for global network infrastructure
- High-frequency, low-latency trading systems with strict performance requirements
- Real-time network security systems processing millions of events per second
I regularly contribute to open-source networking tools and performance-critical systems. My focus is on pushing the boundaries of what's possible in network performance and security while maintaining bulletproof reliability.
Let's connect and discuss how we can build high-performance, secure systems together!
