Network observability engineer at Western Union building Python automation for NetFlow across 100+ Cisco routers.

Message

At Western Union, I’m developing a Python framework that uses NETCONF to configure and validate NetFlow across 100+ Cisco IOS/IOS-XE routers, with dry-run safeguards and automated operational reports.

I built Python and REST scripts to onboard 1,000+ applications into LiveNX using F5 VIP and pool-member data. I’ve also automated LiveNX configuration standardization, backups, and network data collection with Git/GitLab version control.

I deploy and manage ThousandEyes agents to monitor availability, latency, packet loss, and connectivity. I’ve connected observability alerts with BigPanda and Ignio, including routing ThousandEyes alerts through webhooks so correlated incidents can be created in ServiceNow.

I own LiveNX and LiveWire observability across on-prem, hybrid, and cloud environments, including a LiveNX deployment on AWS EC2 that collects VPC Flow Logs from S3. For production incidents, I use flow data and alerts to isolate issues, then confirm root cause with packet capture and analysis.
