Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTyler Bigler is a Senior Network Automation Engineer with 10 years of experience building scalable network source-of-truth systems and automation at scale. Based in Fort Collins, he has driven large-scale data synchronization and provisioning projects—keeping inventories aligned across 23,000+ switches, 2,200+ VMs, and thousands of circuits and VLANs—while reducing manual reconciliation and install times for satellite and enterprise rollouts. A Python-first engineer, he develops REST API clients, Django background workflows, and Jinja2-driven golden configs to turn intent into reliable device state. He contributed multithreading support to the widely-used pynetbox client to speed NetBox interactions, reflecting a focus on performance and practical open-source impact. His career blends field-hardened operational leadership from Air Force network deployments with corporate automation at The Home Depot and NVIDIA, making him effective across design, tooling, and runbook-driven execution. He’s equally comfortable architecting data models and digging into concurrency bugs, and he enjoys turning messy brownfield networks into auditable, automated systems.

Contributions summary:Tyler focused on implementing and integrating multithreading capabilities into the `pynetbox` library. Their primary contributions involved adding threading parameters to the `Api` and `Request` classes, enabling concurrent execution of requests to improve performance. They refactored the code to separate the threaded work into a dedicated function and addressed handling of concurrent futures and python version compatibility. This work centered around improving the efficiency of API interactions.
