Hi there, I'm Daniel Fonque 
Building CI/CD-driven automation for Service Provider networks — IOS XR, MPLS, Segment Routing, and controlled deployment workflows.
I am a Senior Network Engineer / Network Consulting Engineer focused on Service Provider, IP/MPLS, SD-WAN, security, cloud networking, network automation, and network architecture.
My current journey is centered on the CCIE Service Provider certification, while also preparing for JNCIE-SP and CCDE. I am also expanding into automation, APIs, Infrastructure as Code, AI-assisted network engineering, Service Provider design, and cloud design.

Thanks for visiting my GitHub profile. This space documents my work across Service Provider networking, automation, architecture, and hands-on lab engineering.
"Always learning, always building."
Build the lab. Break the network. Understand the protocol. Automate the workflow.
The future of networking belongs to engineers who understand the packets, the protocols, the architecture, and the code behind the infrastructure.
