Who am I?

I’m a networking fanatic with an automation & orchestration obsession.
Senior Software Developer, Network Architect, Systems Architect, #netsec enthusiast.

I’m a nerd from git, fault-tolerant development, and blockchain technologies to BGP-signalled VPLS, leaf-spine CLOS datacenters, and DWDM ROADM, all the way to SQLi, IDS/IPS, and security policies.

What can I do?
