Building resilient networks with code: automation, observability, and closed‑loop ops.

• I build automation-first networks: intent → render → validate → commit → rollback.
• Proven EVPN‑VXLAN DC fabrics, OSPF/BGP backbones, and multicast reliability drills.
• Observability by default: metrics, logs, tests, CI/CD, and safe change playbooks.

• Networking: OSPF, BGP, EVPN‑VXLAN, Anycast GW, Multicast (IGMP/PIM‑SM), QoS
• Automation: Python (Typer/Click, AsyncIO), Ansible, Nornir, Netmiko/Paramiko, PyATS, Jinja2
• Tooling & CI: GitHub Actions, pytest, pre‑commit, Black, mypy, tox, Docker/Containerlab, kind
• Observability: Prometheus, Grafana, TextFSM, structured logs, pydantic models
• Reliability Ops: staged rollouts, canary config, drift detection, golden tests

Repo: mgorripa/network-automation-python

What it shows

• Vendor‑neutral automation patterns (inventory → intent → render → validate → commit → rollback).
• Safe change pipelines: dry‑run diffs, golden tests, per‑site canaries.
• Telemetry collectors + parsers (TextFSM) → metrics → Prom/Grafana.

Tech: Python, Nornir, Netmiko, Jinja2, PyATS/Genie, pytest, GitHub Actions, Docker.

Why it matters

• Demonstrates robust automation & tooling for network deployment/ops with testable safety.

Repo: mgorripa/spine-leaf-evpn-vxlan-datacenter

What it shows

• Modern DC fabric: EVPN control‑plane, VXLAN data‑plane, Anycast GW, MLAG/ESI variants.
• Failure drills and convergence notes.

Tech: FRR/Containerlab, EVPN‑VXLAN, BGP, Linux bridges, Ansible.

Why it matters

• Directly relevant to hyperscale DC fabrics; shows protocol depth + ops playbooks.

Repo: mgorripa/ospf-bgp-network-lab

What it shows

• Backbone fundamentals: area design, summarization, policy, BGP communities.
• Golden path tests for reachability and policy intent.

Tech: FRR/Containerlab, OSPFv2/BGP, pytest, GitHub Actions, Graphviz diagrams.

Why it matters

• Maps to multi‑protocol backbone operations; shows troubleshooting + testable policy.

Repo: mgorripa/multicast-market-data-lab

What it shows

• PIM‑SM end‑to‑end: RP election, SSM/ASM flows, loss/failover drills.
• Traffic generators and packet‑loss SLO alerts.

Tech: FRR/Containerlab, IGMP/PIM‑SM, Scapy, Prometheus Alertmanager.

Why it matters

• Demonstrates reliability engineering for latency/jitter‑sensitive streams.

Repo: mgorripa/opensourcecontributions

What it shows

• PRs/issues to networking/infra projects (e.g., Containerlab/FRR): bugfixes, docs, test improvements.
• Signals ability to collaborate at scale and upstream tooling gaps.

Why it matters

• Shows community engagement, code quality, and impact beyond personal repos.
