Juniper & automation consulting

Senior Juniper help — and the automation around it.

Design, build, review, and escalation for teams on SRX/route/switch and the Linux-backed tooling around them — plus lab validation, demos, and training when that fits the scope.

  • US-based, born and raised
  • JNCIE-SEC for 10+ years — earned before Juniper started giving them away
  • JNCIP-DC/ENT/SP and DevOps
  • Juniper security, routing, and policy depth
  • Pipelines, logging, and Linux glue around the stack
  • How to safely use AI and other modern tools, not slop
  • Lab config testing, proof-of-concept demos, and focused training

Two lanes

Juniper depth + automation & platform

Juniper & network security

  • SRX security policy — build-out, cleanup, and segmentation
  • IPsec / VPN tunnel bring-up, changes, and remediation
  • Junos routing design and rollback-safe implementation
  • Lab proof-of-concept, config testing, and cutover rehearsal
  • Junos automation & validation (PyEZ, jsnapy, playbooks)

Automation & platform

  • Planning a more automated, dev-oriented way of running the network
  • Automation pipeline design and implementation
  • Config validation, templates, and operational playbooks
  • Application integration — logging, monitoring, RADIUS, and access systems
  • Access integration and Linux glue around your stack
  • How to safely use AI and other modern tools, not slop

How I work

Typical engagements

Common starting points — each engagement is scoped to your situation with a clear handoff.

SRX/Route/Switch

Build policy, stand up VPN tunnels, push routing changes, troubleshoot production issues, or review config before cutover.

Routing & switching

Design review, BGP/OSPF hygiene, new VLAN/VRF work, or a change plan before you implement.

Automation spike

Plan a more automated, dev-first way of working — then stand up a pipeline, templates, or a repeatable task your team owns after.

Integration, logging & monitoring

Application and network integration — logging pipelines, monitoring hooks, RADIUS/TACACS+, access systems, and the platform glue around your stack.

Lab, demo & training

Validate config in a lab, run a proof-of-concept or walkthrough demo, test before production cutover, or focused Juniper or automation training for your team.
