At Presidio, we help organizations secure their digital future — from cloud and AI risk to identity, network, and offensive testing. We also invest in people and pathways, helping early-career professionals build skills that make a real impact. https://lnkd.in/gN6aurYK #CybersecurityAwarness #CareerFair #Presidio #CalPolyPomona #FutureCyberTalent

[New Episode #114] Demystifying Automation Tools, Processes, and Culture Gates What do professional martial arts fighters have in common with network engineers? 👇 I recently sat down with David Henderson from Presidio on the Network Automation Nerds podcast from Packet Pushers to talk about his journey from the ring to the front lines of NetDevOps. I believe this is the first time I've had a guest who's a professional fighter, fighting humans rather than software bugs. 🤣 💡 Key Takeaways: - The "Human Accelerator": AI isn't here to take your job; a better engineer who knows how to use AI will. Think of it as an accelerator for your years of hard-earned intuition. - NetDevOps is a Mindset: It’s not just about scripts; it’s about managing your entire network as a repeatable, predictable system rather than a group of individual "snowflakes." - Speaking "Management": If you want your automation projects funded, you have to translate "I finished my work 2 hours early" into business wins like reduced risk and increased application uptime. Whether you’re a CLI veteran or just starting your automation journey, David’s perspective on agentic flows and predictability is a masterclass in where our industry is headed. 👉 Listen to the full episode with the link in the comment. #NetworkAutomation #NetDevOps #AI #EngineeringMindset #PacketPushers

Yesterday I had the privilege of representing Juniper Networks / Hewlett Packard Enterprise by joining another VetsinTech session, alongside fellow veteran Michael Beckham B. and our talent partner Thando Kunene, MSW. We also heard a great talk from Michael Pett on crafting an effective resume and making the most of LinkedIn. A few reminders I shared with the group: - There’s more than “just tech” in technology companies. Beyond engineering, there are opportunities in program and product management, agile/scrum, hardware, firmware, networking, compute, storage, cloud, AI/ML, sales, marketing, customer support, and more. There’s a place for you. - Translate your military experience. Don’t assume recruiters know military jargon. Break it down into civilian terms that reflect the actual skill—leadership, systems management, logistics, problem solving, or technical execution. - Build your professional brand. Use LinkedIn to make yourself visible: post, comment, connect, and share your insights. Your voice and story matter. - You’re not starting over. Veterans bring teamwork, leadership, discipline, and adaptability—skills that are invaluable in any field. Tech can be taught; the right mindset and collaboration skills can’t. For my fellow #veterans who have made this leap, what else can you share? #Veterans #CareerTransition #Leadership #Mentorship
