About Ken P.

Ken Pickles is the Chaos Engineer, Celebrity Blogger, and Disruptor-in-Chief at ExtraHop. His main tasks are introducing latency into the network, wreaking havoc on Citrix deployments with a huge roaming profile, and changing the settings on our routers and ADCs so their MTUs are incompatible. AUGH!

We don't see Ken P. around the office much, since he's a fictional character without a corporeal form, but he makes appearances around our website, and if you look closely, you can find him in the ExtraHop Online Demo, causing mayhem across the stack!
