The Provider: Cisco Systems

On March 1, 1999, I began my voyage with Cisco, The Provider. On this day The Provider said unto me, "Ye shall work and be merry." And so I was, and all was good. And knowing it was good The Provider said unto me, "Ye shall put in OT and be productive." And so I did, and all was good. And knowing it was good The Provider said unto me, "Take time, off. Go Windsurfing!" And so I did, I was happy, and all was good.

Currently I work in Desktop Switching as a Software Engineer. Here is a list of projects I have worked on in the past. Understandably, I have to be vague about what I do.
