In this episode, we chat with Chris Cummings, a full-stack network automation software engineer at ESnet.
Chris has a fascinating story of how he accidentally got into network engineering, starting from a summer camp job in Alaska. He’ll share his insights on the value of certifications, the importance of learning from others, and the challenges of imposter syndrome.
We discuss how he transitioned from being a network engineer to a software engineer, and how he uses his skills to automate the network for some of the most demanding scientific research projects in the world.
We’ll also explore how he deals with boredom, burnout, and stress in his career, and how he strives to be the dumbest person in the room.
Join us for this engaging and informative conversation with Chris Cummings.
