About Blake Becton
Navy veteran with a B.S. in Network Administration and 15 years of experience in Enterprise, Data Center, and local-site networks, as well as a unique interest in developing Linux-based solutions to problems. My range of experiences has led me to become efficient at adapting to new challenges with short term resolution requirements. With a genuine interest in all technologies, I\'ve broadened my skill sets to adopt technologies from multiple industry-leading vendors that allows me to provide a more creative perspective when solving problems. I was blessed to have had several remarkable supervisors and mentors who afforded me unique opportunities to develop my skills helping me to earn 9 industry certifications from Cisco, Microsoft, and LPI, as well as develop valuable skills with Network Automation(Python/Netmiko/Nornir/Jinja2/Ansible), BASH scripting, Regular Expression, Virtualization(VMware), and Linux-based open source solutions development. Modern technology and engineering is my passion. I enjoy pursuing a career that both fascinates me as well as challenges me. I absolutely thrive on being successful. I consistently set realistic yet challenging goals and enjoy the journey to conquer each one. Confronting dynamic problems on a daily basis and collaborating with truly exceptional colleagues, I\'ve learned to listen and value the ideas of others, and consolidate those concepts into powerful functioning approaches.Certifications: CCNP: Enterprise, CCNP: Automation, CCNP Automation Specialist: Enterprise Automation and DevOps, CCDevAssc, LPIC-1: Linux System Administrator, MCSA: Windows Server, and others.
