Building AI Agents for Network Automation

After 18+ years architecting enterprise networks with Cisco SD-WAN, Juniper Mist, and Palo Alto firewalls, I'm now automating the work I used to do manually. Currently on a 30-day challenge: publishing one AI automation project every 2 days across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI infrastructure.
