After earning a Masters degree in Electrical Engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in 1994, Oetiker spent most of his professional life managing Unix systems, first in England, and, since 1995, at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. Mostly on his own time he wrote large parts of MRTG, a tool some ISPs seem to like quite a lot for producing management-friendly graphs of their network traffic.
As the author, designer and publisher of RRDtool, Oetiker will be presentation on RDDtool at the Montreal NANOG on October 4th.
