Kenneth Finnegan
Originally an Electrical Engineer, Kenneth fell into Internet infrastructure and network engineering through a long series of events involving the phrase "hold my beer," including building his own Autonomous System (AS7034), building a global anycast DNS server (NS-global.zone), building the Fremont Cabal Internet Exchange in Fremont, California, and ultimately working in the Technical Assistance Center for Arista Networks.

Volunteers mirroring Linux Distros and Free Software projects is the only way that projects are able to scale without being crushed by the bandwidth bills necessary to make their software available at large. The old guard of mirrors are greying, so new providers of bandwidth and server admins need to step up to fill their shoes. The MicroMirror project is one approach to this by finding the most popular projects consuming the most bandwidth on mirrors and spreading that load across dozens of new, smaller, cheaper, mirror servers across the globe.
