Sif Baksh is a network automation architect, solutions engineer, and technical educator with more than 15 years of experience across networking, security, infrastructure, and automation. His work focuses on helping engineering teams build governed workflows that connect network data, infrastructure APIs, operational tools, and human approvals into systems that are practical, observable, and safe to operate. His technical background includes DNS/DHCP/IPAM automation, network and security operations, threat intelligence enrichment, compliance workflows, incident response, and tool integration. He has worked with teams to replace manual, ticket-driven processes with repeatable automation patterns designed for production environments. His current work explores how AI agents, local LLMs, prompt design, tool calling, MCP servers, and agentic troubleshooting loops can be applied to network operations without losing validation or control. Through his writing, workshops, videos, and community projects, he teaches engineers how to turn AI ideas into NetOps workflows that can be tested, reviewed, and trusted.
