Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJustin Drew is a Principal Engineer based in Austin with a decade-plus career designing and automating secure, enterprise-grade networks and services. He blends deep network-security expertise (CCNP Security) with hands-on NetDevOps—building automation frameworks, Ansible playbooks, and Python integrations to standardize firmware, config, and CI/CD testing across multi-vendor environments. At Network to Code he advanced from practitioner to principal, helping organizations start or scale their network automation journeys while preserving reliability and compliance. His background includes large-scale load-balancer, firewall, and DDoS mitigation projects at Rackspace and practical logging and orchestration work at AppRiver, showing both strategic architecture and gritty implementation skills. Justin is as comfortable writing code to convert firewall configs as he is planning high‑priority maintenances for strategic clients, and he brings a pragmatic emphasis on repeatability and measurable process improvement.
