I have been a developer, network operator, network engineer, and IT architect over the course of my career. I am currently in a product management role at Plexxi, Inc focusing on orchestration and community. I am more popularly known as @cloudtoad on twitter. In the past I have blogged on PacketPushers and have participated in multiple Network Field Day events as both a delegate and a presenter (both sides of the table).

I am one of the architects for the NetDev network abstraction framework in Puppet.
