Michael Buckley is a software engineer and former Army Captain with a decade of technical and public-service experience, now building networking and SD-WAN solutions at Cisco. He combines hands-on networking automation (Python, APIs, Meraki, Ruckus, Cisco) with field-tested leadership from managing teams and life-or-death decisions as a paramedic and 82nd Airborne officer. At Charter he drove automation that saved $250K and cut manual effort by over 90%, and at ABC Supply he led a 1,100-site SD-WAN migration while developing observability tooling to triage device performance. Comfortable bridging operations and software, he emphasizes training, mentorship, and equipment readiness—principles honed by jumping out of airplanes and leading technology readiness for an artillery battalion. Based in Durham, NC, he brings a rare mix of disciplined operational rigor and pragmatic coding craftsmanship to complex network automation problems.
