Daniel King

Principal Consultant at Old Dog Consulting

Speaker

As a Principal Consultant at Old Dog Consulting, I have provided expert support in implementing, deploying, and standardizing Internet Protocol-based solutions for leading vendors and network operators for over 20 years. My expertise spans the telecommunications sector, including SDN, NFV, Network Planning, IP and optical networks. I hold a PhD in Computer Science from Lancaster University, where I am also an Honorary Researcher.

I am driven by a passion for technology and a commitment to solving complex networking challenges. My contributions to the field include authoring numerous conference papers, journal articles, technology standards, and patents on network design, architecture, and engineering. I am deeply engaged in technology philanthropy, serving in various leadership roles within the IETF and IRTF, ETSI, MEF, and ONF.

In addition to my consulting work, I have co-founded two innovative companies, Aria Networks and DNNI, and have held positions at prestigious organizations such as Bell Labs, Movaz Networks, Redback Networks, and Cisco Systems.

Outside of my professional life, I am an avid triathlete, Ironman, and ultra trail runner. I also own The Wayside and Whisky Barn, a hidden gem in the Western Lake District.
