-I originally started my career as a Network Engineer, working in the Data Center and Cloud domains, but I quickly started learning about automation out of curiosity to make my work more efficient.
+I started out as a typical Network Engineer, working in the data center and cloud domains. The turning point for me came when I was tasked with deploying an OOB (Out-of-band) network with over 150 switches. After manually applying a base config to just the first 15 devices, I started exploring how to push changes at scale without having to log in to devices one by one. A lot has changed since those early days, and the tools available to help us are way better nowadays, but I still get super excited every time I learn about a tool or technology that allows me to solve problems at scale more efficiently.
 
 Besides networking, I enjoy learning about DevOps practices, Software Engineering, and Systems Design.
