Top SchoolZachary Biles is a senior network automation architect with a decade of hands-on experience building resilient, secure automation platforms and enterprise networks. He designs and leads end-to-end automation efforts using tools like Python, Ansible, Nornir, Netmiko and AWX to reduce operational toil across large BGP/MPLS, cloud (Oracle/Azure), wireless mesh, and datacenter environments.
