About Ben Airola
Computer Engineering graduate from Santa Clara University, now working at Arista Networks as an Associate Systems Engineer. I get to directly apply the vast wealth of knowledge accumulated through my engineering studies (as well as various prior professional experiences) to help my team succeed. Each day, we transform complex, even daunting computer networking challenges into modular solutions—at scale. My work sits on the intersection between technical architecture and business development strategy.Having had prior experience as a Software/Firmware engineer also here with Arista, I am beyond excited to be back in a new(-ish) capacity, contributing to the future of cloud networking and AI compute alongside some of the brightest minds in the field.When I’m not working on the above, you can most likely find me at the beach playing volleyball…!
