Ms. Johnson began working at the laboratory in 1999 as an undergraduate student in Computer Science. She quickly learned how to test physical layer protocols in the Fast Ethernet Consortium and became a skilled tester of Interoperability and Autonegotiation.
Naturally, Ms. Johnson moved to higher layer protocols in order to broaden her knowledge and experience. Having spent less than a year in the laboratory; she had led testing automation projects and participated in the design, implementation and deployment of an object-oriented, cross-platform test solution used for network and higher layer protocol testing. Shortly afterward, she began managing the IPv6 Consortium. A believer in innovation, Ms. Johnson did not hesitate to introduce new, more functional teams at the laboratory. In February of 2006, she successfully collaborated with the IPv4 Consortium to internally restructure IPv6 and IPv4 into one Consortium in order to effectively utilize resources.
