Hi, I’m Amr El Husseini
Network Engineer focused on automation, cloud networking, and Linux internals.
I design and operate resilient network platforms, then automate repetitive operations with Python and Ansible.
I use this blog to share practical labs, implementation notes, and lessons from production environments.
