🔬 I contribute and collaborate to open source projects in various online presences to help out others, utilize what I'm learning, and continue learning new things.
🧑🤝🧑 I've met some bright, passionate, and talented people in the process! 🙇
🌱 I'm mostly focused on utilizing and continually learning automation ... primarily with Python at present.
🏆 As a volunteer maintainer for the ntc-templates collection of TextFSM templates: I review, provide feedback, guide contributors, and resolve merge conflicts to prepare pull requests for successful inclusion.
🔭 I'm in search of new projects to contribute to, which over time will provide challenges 🏅, improve my knowledge 🧠, and my rating. 🤷♂️ 😅
🤝 If my open source work has helped you 🎊, please consider saying thank you by supporting me via Ko-fi or Buy Me a Coffee.
Much appreciated!
