My name is Diego Gimenez Soares, originally from Brazil and currently working as a Systems Architect at Cisco in the New York City area, specializing in R&S and Security solutions.
I started my career in a ISP (Brasil Telecom) back in Brazil, working on the NOC, helping maintain and operate the backbone. After some year I joined Cisco and spent the last 15 years helping Financial firms with their digital transformation journey, Cisco technology adoption and its benefits.
I am very passionate about how technology can solve business challenges and provide beneficial outcomes developing multi-architecture solutions. As a strong believer in the impact of innovation in enterprises and how software can transform infrastructure, I have actively promoted Cisco’s developers’ program – DevNet – in the Great New York City region running DevNet Express events and Cisco Engineer trainings.
My next personal challenge is to maintain and create content for this blog, help expand knowledge and allow you to kick the tires on your programmability journey towards being a Network DevOps Engineer.
