A note from the deskshop talk, with citations

I'm a network and security engineer running infrastructure across a global multi-site lab environment: thousands of switches on Dell SONiC and Cumulus, Palo Alto firewalls, and automation built on Python, Nornir, Ansible, and NetBox.

This site exists so I can share what I know and learn what I don't. Some posts are field notes from the lab, some are research into topics I want to understand better, and some are assisted by AI tools that help me dig deeper and write faster. It's a working notebook, published when the work is worth sharing.
