Tech Enthusiast: When asked about the most exciting innovation the NGN project introduces to Yale’s campus, Kevin highlights the dynamic security and traffic separation capabilities of NGN WiFi. He explains it with this example – “Two people can be sitting right next to each other, connected to YaleSecure but be on entirely different network segments.” This feature, while not visible to users, is a significant advancement, enabling diverse applications and network configurations that will set Yale’s network apart.
Pride in the Project: For Kevin, one of his proudest achievements is simply being a part of the NGN project since its early stages. Witnessing the project’s vision come to life is a source of immense satisfaction.
Beyond the Office: Outside of work, Kevin is a talented musician, actively playing rock ‘n roll and jazz bass. Off campus, you’ll likely find him pursuing his musical interests. On campus, he enjoys playing squash at PWG (Payne Whitney Gym). Kevin’s interests extend to modern novels, pro tennis, Merchant-Ivory films, and the music of Bill Evans. Kevin’s literary passion is evident as he’s read Moby Dick five times and he’s “not done yet.”
Favorite Campus Spots: Kevin’s favorite places on campus are the Art Gallery and the Beinecke Library, where he can immerse himself in art and literature.
