My journey started as network engnieer and teaching Cisco certificate courses at the university already as undergrad, but right after getting my Master's degree on I got oportunity to work in datacenter networks where I spent the better part of last 15 years witnessing the trasformation of traditional networks and their individual devices configuraiton using cli to next gen networks that have centrally controlled orchestration and integration layers towards server side hypervisors.

During the years I have been in various roles on this journey, including engineer, instructor, sdn automation developer, customer facing consultant, network architect and recently leading a team of infrastructure automation engineers from a position of "Product Owner" in Agile methodology of development.

Despite datacenter and cloud networks being my primary focus, I will always remain a "tinkerer" and hold to my inner geek trying to remain universally educated in other fields including linux, virtualization, programming languages and recently picked up also basics of computer vision, electronics, data visualization and deep learning technologies as a hobby. There have been many situations in my carrier that especially the knowledge outside of pure networks focus played a critical role in making a project successful.

In addition, I actually have worked in customer facing roles, team leading roles and done some part-time consulting. I know how to present technical work and in general can be relied to keep formal & professional relationships.
