Summary
Mark Reyes is a Sr. Network Automation Engineer and Naval veteran with over a decade of experience modernizing large-scale network operations and driving security-first automation. He has led transformational efforts across major ISPs and enterprise environments—turning multi-day deployments into hours, migrating CI/CD pipelines, and saving millions through automation and process redesign. As a former SRE and manager, he builds NetBox-driven lifecycles, automated vulnerability scanning and code-signing pipelines, and has served as a trusted security focal for recurring compliance assessments. Comfortable bridging field operations to cloud-era orchestration, he combines hands-on network engineering (Cisco/Juniper/Alcatel) with developer workflows and sprint-based delivery. Based in Austin, he uniquely pairs military discipline with a track record of mentoring teams through role transitions into network development.
