 Wrote Python classes to automate Cisco Switch configs via SSH

def main():
    load_dotenv()
    ip_address = os.getenv("IP_ADDRESS")
    port = os.getenv("PORT")
    ssh_user = os.getenv("SSH_USER")

    asw1 = Switch(ip_address, port, ssh_user)
    ssh_connection = SSHConnection()
    config_pusher = ConfigPusher()
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This is the main.py where I instantiate my objects. I plan writing a detailed post about this project, because I'm really passionate about it. I love the fact that my code can control real physical hardware.

Started Exercism JavaScript track and completed 16 exercises so far

I'm diving deep into JS for a couple of weeks, because I want to become proficient enough to land an internship as a Backend Developer. Python and Go would also be great choices (especially for DevOps route), but I think it's best to focus on one thing at a time...

Wrote my first post about how to pass the CCNA exam

I recently passed the CCNA exam with a score > 90% and I wanted to share how I prepared for the exam and what mistakes I made.

 The week's not over yet

I have a few other things planned for this week:

  • Prepare for an Ansible exam I have next week
  • Continue writing JavaScript
  • Learn about HTTP on MDN
  • Write my first weekly blog post about my Backend 💻🔙 x DevOps journey

Another new article, reviewed 6 chapters for Manning, and sent final visuals for a pair of books I'm contributing to for early next year.

Well, it was kind of last week (but I got it updated on my site this week), but I finally wrote another article on DEV :)

I was recognized by the PM for the progress of an implementation in which I am a feature lead. Note: I am a Dev Jr. and this is my first time leading a team project.
