David Ulevitch’s Experience

Founder

OpenDNS

(Privately Held; Internet industry)

October 2005 — Present (4 years 3 months)

I set the direction, align our trajectory and try to make sure my all-star team has everything they need to deliver the most advanced DNS service in the world.

August 2001 — Present (8 years 5 months)

I founded EveryDNS.Net and have watched it grow to become the world's largest free DNS service. Together with a team of outstanding volunteers we manage a global userbase providing 100% uptime and full customer service. EveryDNS has been cash positive since its inception using our revenue to drive our growth and maintain our well-respected stability. We have servers located within strategic network points in North Amerca and Europe with plans to expand into the Asia and Pacific Rim regions.
Director of Network Operations

AdBrite, Inc.

(Privately Held; 11-50 employees; Internet industry)

October 2004 — November 2005 (1 year 2 months)

I made sure that all the 1's and 0's got to the right people at the right time at the right place -- 24x7x365.

I built a low cost network that scaled reliably from 30-40 million daily pageviews to over 350 million daily pageviews on a budget of under $200,000.

This was a multi-homed network spanning three datacenters across the country built on commodity hardware and custom software.
