About

I have been working in Internet industry since 2005, in my past 18 years career, I have held software engineering, network engineering, and senior management roles at a few Internet Service Provider (ISP) and technology companies.

I have designed, implemented, and operated several ISP networks for my employers and my customers, which those networks are providing multiple services for their clients, such as: Broadband Internet (ADSL, FTTH), DIA, IP Transit, DPLC, IPLC, Site-to-site VPN, Server Colocation, Anycast, DDoS Mitigation...etc.

I enjoy knowledge sharing with the community and therefore I participated in the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC)’s Community Trainer program as a Retained Community Trainer, I regularly deliver training to participants in the region on behalf of APNIC. Furthermore, I volunteer as a member of Cambodia Network Operators Group (KHNOG) for my personal commitment to enhance the Internet development of Cambodia, and I was elected as the Co-Chair of KHNOG’s Executive Committee in February 2022.

Areas of Expertise: BGP, MPLS, IPv6, Coding & Databases.
