my name is Łukasz Bromirski, and at my $DAILYJOB I’m Next Generation Firewall hardware product management team lead for Cisco Systems. while I still provide support to our local team in Poland as they work with Customers and Partners, my primary focus is on Cisco security portfolio. I’m also double active CCIE – with Routing & Switching and Service Providers (#15929) and at the same time CCDE 2012::17, which keeps me busy keeping them current.
how?
I’m working on sharing the networking knowledge widely - by driving various projects and checking (unfortunately rarely those days) different networking forums.
I’m also speaking often on different conferences - like for example PLNOG (that we created together with Andrzej Targosz, CONFidence and others. obviously primarly those that were organized by Cisco in the first place. I’m also CEO of Polish CCIE Club, and I do cooperate closely with our Cisco Network Academy team here in Poland.
because I’m more “do” than “talk” type of a person, I’m often found delivering various trainings and workshops.
OK, and something else?
at the same time I’m trying to exist and make my mark - I have two sons and I do love all kinds of animals. other than that, i’m interested in Second World War militaria, and from time to time - programming (long, long time ago Z80 and Motorola 65000 assemblers didn’t have anything to hide from me; later on i was working as a C/C++, but recently everything evolves around Python and network automation - Ansible, Chef, Puppet) and obviously in container world - even around Kubernetes.
I’m reading good books, a lot of them - 4 or 5 monthly on average. i did translations long time ago. if you’re interested about my choice of recommended networking books, take a look here.
for couple of reasons I became interested in FreeBSD, switching to it from Linux 1.x/early 2.0 kernels. FreeBSD love stays with me today - if that’s a server, it has to be FreeBSD. if it’s hypervisor - it’s usually VMware ESXi. I also switched from Windows to Mac OS/iOS couple of years ago and again - I can’t really imagine going back.
this is my blog… and only that
as it seems everyone lies about how they track you today in internet and use all kinds of invasive techniques to do it, to monetize and to cheat you about what they actually do, here’s my short statement on what you can expect by visiting my site.
I don’t use any tracking (no cookies) and I’m not using/sharing any statistical data from the site - to nobody. I don’t use any external analytic engines to “improve visibility”, I’m not using external comment engines… nothing. the only external links outbound are fonts (Google and Font Awesome) and CloudFlare (offloading JS script for Hugo engine).
that’s all.
I’m writing for myself and for You and the only tool I’m actually using is goaccess, to generate monthly my visitors report. I can even risk stating that even without visitors, I’ll keep writing and publishing stuff.
and that’s all?
generally, yes. every good beginning has an end.
music that i listen to is listed here. my friends - here and obviously on LinkedIn.
