Andre Thompson

I am interested in becoming an At-Large representative of the DSSA WG.

I have been working in the Information Technology field for more than 15 years and I am currently working at the University of the West Indies as a Systems Engineer. Here I have gained extensive knowledge in implementing TCPIP based networks at the campus level – Routing, Multilayer switching, Access Lists, etc. I am currently working on implementing IPv6 and DNSSEC in the Enterprise.

The University of the West Indies also has an Internet 2 connection which I am trying to make IPv6 native.
