Network Engineering
Design, build, and operation of routed and switched networks — data center, campus, WAN, and the edge.

Dylan Kraklan
Technology executive and engineer. I build and run networks — and the automation that keeps them honest.
01 About
I've spent my career in network engineering, with a focus on automation — replacing hand-typed CLI changes with code, source control, and repeatable pipelines. Alongside the network, I bring a strong systems administration background: Linux, infrastructure, and the operational discipline that keeps production quiet.
Today I lead technology teams while staying close to the engineering. I care about reliable infrastructure, pragmatic tooling, and building teams that automate the boring parts so they can focus on the hard ones.
02 Focus
Network Automation
Infrastructure as code, config generation, validation, and CI/CD for the network. Source of truth first, CLI last.
Systems Administration
Linux and infrastructure operations, monitoring, and the services the network exists to deliver.
Technical Leadership
Building and leading engineering teams, setting strategy, and turning infrastructure into a business advantage.
