I am working on various open-source projects in network automation.

My main project is Netmiko which I have been working on since 2014. Netmiko is a multi-vendor library intended to simplify legacy network automation predominantly using SSH.

I also work on and help maintain other miscellaneous network automation projects including NAPALM, NAPALM-Ansible, and nornir_netmiko.

Some examples of recent work are:

  1. Netmiko release 4.1.0 which included Netmiko performance improvements and bug fixes.
  2. Netmiko release 4.0.0 which included a meaningful overall on Netmiko's timeout implementation, adding of type-hints, a better solution for sending multiple show commands in sequence, and new code entry points.
  3. Add support into NAPALM for Netmiko 4.0.0 changes.

If you use Netmiko or other open-source projects that I work on, and they provide value to you or your organization, consider contributing.
