Hello there πŸ‘‹

My name is Brett Lykins, and my pronouns are He/Him.

I live in Fairfax, Virginia, USA.

Quick facts about me

One of these is a lie, and you should try to guess which one.

  • πŸ€“ I am a new nerd who loves knowing how things work and how they're put together
  • πŸ‘¨πŸ»β€πŸ’» 🎸 I am passionate about technology and music, but after an unsuccessful year at music school I realized I should probably keep technology as a career and music as a hobby
  • πŸ’Ό I spent 15 years working in Networking and Security before I began to use Python and Go to make my life easier
  • ✍🏻 πŸŽ™ I write and speak about the intersection of these things to help organizations solve IT infrastructure problems

Current projects

These are projects that I am (somewhat) actively working on.

  • cisshgo: A small, fast, concurrent SSH server to emulate network equipment (for example, Cisco IOS) for testing purposes.
  • Leanpub Multi Action: A Github Action I built for interacting with the API of Leanpub in your authoring workflows.

Past projects

These are projects I was actively working on in the past, but I've not touched much in recent months (or years πŸ˜…).

  • NAAS: Netmiko as A Service is an API-driven wrapper for the popular Netmiko Python library for interacting with network devices.
  • Stockpiler: A Nornir-based tool for backing up network device configurations.

Drumroll please

The lie was the first one, if you guessed right here is a cookie: πŸͺ

I am not a new nerd, but a lifelong nerd.

And here are the receipts.
