throwaway account. looking to transition to full-time network automation in the next 18 months or less. Ideally I want 100% remote with occasional travel, but anything focused on automation / integration / infrastructure-as-code interests me.
Network experience:
- CCNA (expired last year)
- 4 years managing countywide k12 network over DIA & dark fiber
- Cisco & HPE/Aruba routing/switching
- Aruba wifi
- Palo Alto firewall
Automation experience:
- Solved business problems with Python, netmiko, NAPALM, textfsm, APIs, etc
- automated config changes / audits
- polled facts directly from devices using custom textfsm templates (started the foundation of a python API for legacy IOS)
- automated IOS upgrades
- complex firewall config changes via API
- CRUD operations and custom reports from NMS API
- automated device provisioning workflow using freeztp (jinja2, etc)
- posted several projects to github (wont link here for privacy)
Options I'm considering:
- CCNP / ACNP
- Ansible
- Turn a couple github projects into pypi modules
- contribute to existing codebases such as ntc-templates
My free time is very limited these days, so I want to focus on the most important skills. Appreciate any input, especially from those who have made this transition. Cheers!
