PROFILE
Matt Tarkington
Matthew Tarking developed and maintained advanced network automation features for the netascode/ansible-dc-vxlan repository, focusing on scalable VXLAN fabric provisioning and validation within Cisco Nexus Dashboard environments. He engineered robust template systems and validation logic using Python, Ansible, and Jinja2, enabling version-aware configuration, multi-site domain support, and seamless integration with Cisco NDFC. His work addressed deployment reliability, backward compatibility, and policy management, introducing automated error handling, inventory persistence, and improved data modeling. By refining configuration management and release processes, Matthew reduced misconfiguration risk and accelerated deployment cycles, demonstrating depth in infrastructure as code and network automation engineering.
