Saying the quiet
part out loud.
A decade of conference presentations, podcast appearances, and community talks — usually on topics that become obvious about six months later.

Telemetry Now Podcast
Vibe Coding with Ryan Booth
LLMs generating code from natural language descriptions — what Andrej Karpathy calls "vibe coding." We dig into what this means for debugging, best practices, and the future of software engineering.
Getting Started with Using LLMs in Network Operations
Practical applications of LLMs for networking teams: querying complex telemetry data, natural language analysis, automated workflows, and where agentic AI is headed for network automation.
Demystifying Generative AI and Large Language Models
A ground-up breakdown of GenAI, NLP, and LLMs for infrastructure practitioners — history, components, mechanisms, and what actually matters for ops teams.
Demystifying the Role of AI and LLMs in Networking
How AI and large language models are reshaping network operations, from real-world use cases to the limits practitioners need to understand before deploying.
Packet Pushers
Ep. 311Five Engineers And A Microphone
Five engineers around a microphone sharing war stories, discussing career paths, and debating the real value of participating in the networking community and social media.

Network Engineers and Using AI Development Tools
How to build a complete application using AI assistance without writing code directly — AI development workflows, context management, testing practices, and practical guidance for network engineers making the leap.
⬡ Conference Presentations
On stage
Simplify Your Data Center Workflows with Juniper Apstra's REST API
Network teams spend enormous effort managing configuration templates. This session shows how Apstra eliminates template ownership entirely — replacing it with a simplified, normalized programmatic approach that lets teams focus on meaningful integrations and workflows instead of YAML maintenance.
Watch on TechFieldDay →Apstra AOS and ServiceNow Integration with Network to Code Demonstration
A live demonstration of Apstra's API capabilities enabling compelling integrations with third-party services — ServiceNow and AOS working in harmony with Network to Code, showing what network automation looks like when the pieces actually connect.
Watch on TechFieldDay →AI/ML Community Presentations
Regular contributor and presenter at Austin's AI/ML User Group — covering agentic systems, RAG architectures, LLM tooling, and automated AI development workflows. The pattern: presenting concepts that become industry standard practice a few months later.
AIMUG.org →◈ Community
Network Field Day Delegate
Field Day delegates are independent technical practitioners selected by the community to represent the engineer's perspective. Vendors present, delegates interrogate.
