I’m not a full-time developer. I’m a manufacturing engineer with a passion for networking who got tired of doing repetition. I started learning Python with no programming background, and every week, I find new ways it helps me automate, analyse, or troubleshoot faster.

This blog is where I’ll document what I’ve learnt, share scripts, and hopefully help others avoid the same rabbit holes I fell into.

If you're new to Python, start small. You don’t need to build an orchestration platform on day one. Begin with these basics:

• Learn how to write and run a script

• Use Netmiko to SSH into a router

• Loop through IPs and ping them

• Parse the output and log it to a file

• Every script is a step closer to freedom from the CLI grind.

Whether you're a CCNA student, a seasoned CCNP, or knee-deep in data centre gear, Python belongs in your toolbox. The sooner you start, the sooner you’ll wonder how you ever worked without it.

Let’s automate the boring stuff together.

Stay tuned. More scripts, guides, and real-life use cases coming soon!

I spent the next joyful evening coding together with my buddy!
