Making Network Automation Consumable: A Junior Engineer's Perspective
11.11.2025 , Saal A

As a Junior Engineer, the consumability of a network automation tool can really make or break your experience. Some incredibly smart engineers and developers build amazing tools for specific use cases, but they can be tough to use unless you know all their quirks. This is especially frustrating when you're just starting out. That is why I want to share a small project I worked on including all the applications I used and what I learned from it. Fancy tools are great, but at the end of the day, someone has to actually use them—both now and in the future, right?

Emre Cinar is a Junior Automation Sales Engineer for IP Networks at Nokia, supporting network automation sales activities across the European market.
