Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Himes is a lead network automation engineer with nine years of professional experience transforming large-scale enterprise networks through scripting, tooling, and pragmatic automation. He progressed from night phone operator to hands-on network lead by teaching himself networking fundamentals and later Python, turning manual, time-consuming tasks into repeatable programs that earned multiple promotions. At Duke Energy and SS&C he built crawlers, web GUIs, SQL-backed tools, and automation that audit, map, and remediate network issues across tens of thousands of devices. Comfortable across networking, security (802.1x, ISE), and full automation stacks, he blends deep operational knowledge with software practices like ORMs, testing frameworks, and CI-friendly tooling. Colleagues rely on him for pragmatic solutions—he’s as likely to write a one-off crawler or Raspberry Pi field tool as he is to design a scalable automation pipeline. Based in Raleigh, NC, he pairs a get-things-done mindset with a knack for turning operational pain points into reusable, auditable systems.
