# Rodny Molina > Principal Software Engineer at Docker | Co-founder & CTO at Nestybox) Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/rodny Software Engineer and Entrepreneur, co-founder and CTO of Nestybox, builders of Sysbox container runtime. Built Sysbox from concept to hundreds of corporate deployments worldwide, leading to acquisition by Docker (YC S20). I love building things from scratch and iterating through all phases of the product development life-cycle, from concept to release. Specialties: • Cloud-native architectures (containerization, docker, podman, kubernetes) and approaches to accelerate application delivery, continuous delivery, and platform engineering. • Network infrastructure and system/OS virtualization space. • Network distributed applications, routing protocols, and forwarding functionalities. • Experience bootstrapping engineering teams from scratch and defining appropriate SDLC methodologies. • Languages: Go, C++, C, Java, Python, Perl, TCL. ## Work Experience ### Principal Software Engineer @ Docker, Inc Jan 2022 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area Building Docker Cloud products. ### Founder & CTO @ Nestybox Jan 2019 – Jan 2022 | San Francisco Bay Area Acquired by Docker, Inc. Nestybox's goal is simple: if an application runs in a server or virtual-machine, then it should also run within a container, and it should do so easily, efficiently, and most importantly, securely. With that goal in mind is that we have created the Sysbox container runtime. ### Staff Software Engineer @ LinkedIn Jan 2017 – Jan 2019 | San Francisco Bay Area * Member of Product Infrastructure Engineering (PIE) team in charge of Linkedin's data-centers (DC) operations. * Helped identify, develop, and integrate an open-source network operating-system into Linkedin's DCs for efficiency, flexibility, and cost-reduction purposes. * Worked along SONIC's early-stage community to help define SONIC's initial soft architecture and roadmap. ### Technical Leader @ Ericsson Jan 2014 – Jan 2016 | San Francisco Bay Area • Tech-lead for the Path-Computation-Element-Protocol (PCEP) and Segment-Routing (SR) groups within Ericsson's IPOS division. Responsible for the planning, design and implementation of functionalities within the routing/forwarding domain. • Design and implementation of Ericsson’s PCC client, which allows interaction with OpenDaylight (ODL) PCE servers fed through BGP-LS signaling. • Design and implementation of Segment-Routing (SR) daemon, which provides mapping-server functionalities in heterogeneous LDP/SR topologies. • Design and implementation of Ericsson’s Inter-Data-Center Cloud-Network-Controller pilot solution, by adapting BGP/MPLS stack to allow thrift-based interaction with external OpenStack/ODL servers. ### Staff Software Engineer @ Juniper Networks Jan 2008 – Jan 2014 • Senior member of MPLS group within JunOS Routing-Protocols-Daemon (RPD) division. Specialized in VPLS/L2VPN/L3VPN/VPWS/PWE applications and the associated signaling protocols carrying the corresponding control-state (BGP/LDP/RSVP). • Responsible for the design and implementation of various features to scale and optimize convergence capabilities of Juniper’s BGP-based VPLS/L2VPN/L3VPN applications. • Member of JunOS RPD architecture/modularity team. Responsible for the re-architecture of RPD’s code-base for all the functionalities falling within the team domain. • Architected and implemented LDP-driven VPWS/L2CKT backup-pseudowire feature as a fundamental piece of Juniper’s Mobile-Backhaul solution. • Design and implementation of various Seamless-MPLS related features to enable the smooth definition of services across inter-area (OSPF/ISIS) boundaries and inter-AS (BGP) domains. ### Sr Focused Technical Support Engineer @ Juniper Networks Jan 2003 – Jan 2008 • Senior TAC engineer for top service providers in EMEA and LATAM region. Ownership of critical cases and escalation point for other TAC organizations. • Conducted lab-testing to emulate customers’ scenarios, to be able to dissect and get to the bottom of complex issues demanding deep system’s performance/scaling analysis and network troubleshooting skills. • Designed, implemented and executed multidimensional testing/troubleshooting setups making use of software-based network-simulators and hardware-testing appliances. • Extensive use of GDB, code-browsing and static-analysis tools to identify bug’s scope. • Exposure to an extensive variety of networking technologies and scenarios: OSPF, ISIS, RIP, BGP, MPLS, RSVP(TE), LDP, L3VPN, L2VPN, VPLS, PIM, IGMP, STP, LACP, BFD, etc. ### Network Engineer @ Broadnet Jan 2002 – Jan 2003 • Design, validation and implementation of new services and functionalities over nationwide IP network, built as an overlay service atop an ATM-PNNI core. • Perform continuous network topology optimizations and new feature additions to address customer’s special demands (VoIP services, BGP peering, rfc2547-L3VPN, IPsec/GRE tunneling) and diverse interconnection approaches (LMDS, xDSL, POTS, ISDN, Ethernet). • Responsible for the implementation and deployment of Linux-based open-source applications to provide software-driven services (DNS resolution, firewalls, POP/SMTP, RADIUS/LDAP, cloud-based backup solutions). ### Network Support Engineer @ Lucent Technologies Jan 2000 – Jan 2002 • Study and analysis of complex problems in various EMEA and LATAM providers relying on Lucent/Cascade’s IP-capable ATM/Frame-relay switches. Customer’s scenarios re-creation in lab facilities to reproduce and isolate reported issues. • Exposure to a very diverse set of technologies: OSPF, BGP, PPP, L2TP, BRAS, RADIUS, HDLC, ATM, FR, X25, POS, etc. ## Education ### Entrepreneurship/Entrepreneurial Studies Y Combinator ### B.S Computer Science University of Illinois Springfield ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/rodnymolina --- Source: https://flows.cv/rodny JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/rodny/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-12
