About
Cody Beeston
Network & security engineer based in Georgetown, Texas. I work at the intersection of Dell SONiC fabrics, automation, and AI infrastructure — and spend most evenings reading papers and writing about what's next.
What I work on
- Dell Enterprise SONiC and OS10 switches — spine-leaf fabrics, EVPN-VXLAN, microsegmentation.
- Automation with Ansible, Python, Netmiko, Nornir, and gNMI. NetBox as source-of-truth.
- Palo Alto firewalls, BGP, and policy-as-code.
- AI infrastructure for the networking side — RoCEv2 fabrics, inference traffic, data-plane concerns.
What I'm curious about
- How infrastructure decisions compound — where network design meets systems thinking.
- Open-source networking ecosystems: SONiC, Ultra Ethernet, OpenConfig.
- Physics detours — wave phenomena, information theory, the odd quantum paper.
- Agentic systems, multi-agent pipelines, and what "alive" infrastructure looks like.
