Our guest today is Stan Barber, a veteran IT professional with 40 years of experience in networking and internet technologies.
He shares his journey from being a computer systems administrator at a medical college to working for various internet service providers to joining Google Fiber and beyond.
From a rather non-technical background of studying biochemistry and psychology in college, he explains how he uses what he learned and applies the scientific method to his way of looking at problems.
We will talk about Stan’s insights and challenges on topics such as IPv6 adoption, network automation, balancing management and technology roles, and how it felt to be the “old person in the room” when he started at Google.
