Automation Specialist
Principal Infrastructure Engineer
A career spent building enterprise and service provider networks — and the tools to automate them. BGP, MPLS, datacenter fabrics, multi-vendor environments. I focus on operational problems: discovery, configuration drift, migration validation, compliance auditing. If it's repetitive and error-prone, I automate it — across Python, Go, C#, and JavaScript.
