Fixed-scope automation sprints for service providers and network teams drowning in manual config work. Source-of-truth-driven config generation across Cisco, Juniper, Arista, and A10 — taken live in production, then handed to your team. No managed service. No lock-in.
Each engagement is a fixed-scope build: 4–6 weeks, one clearly defined automation outcome, delivered live in your production network.
Configuration generated straight from NetBox, Infoblox, and your other systems of record. IPs, VRFs, ASNs, VNIs, and route targets assigned automatically — no lookups, no duplicates.
Tested configuration templates spanning Cisco, Juniper, Arista, and A10 platforms — one workflow that speaks every dialect in your network.
Modern AI tooling accelerates config generation and pre-deployment validation — every change checked before it touches a production device.
Scope and price agreed before work starts. You know exactly what gets delivered and exactly what it costs. No hourly meters, no scope drift.
Documentation, templates, and pipeline handed to your team — any qualified engineer runs it after I leave. No managed service, no on-call dependency.
CCIE with decades of service-provider and enterprise production experience. This isn't consulting theory — it's the work I've done on live carrier networks for years.
A regional service provider onboarding 3–4 L3VPN customers per month across Juniper core, Cisco PE, and A10 CGNAT. One automation sprint changed the math.
Based on the measured before/after from this build — drag the slider.
A sprint has a beginning, a middle, and — unlike most consulting — an end.
We define one automation outcome worth having — a workflow, an onboarding pipeline, a config-generation problem. Fixed fee agreed before any work starts.
Architecture mapped against your source-of-truth systems, vendor mix, and network areas. You see the design before anything is built.
Templates, integrations, and validation built and tested against your environment. AI-assisted where it accelerates, engineered everywhere.
Deployed into production alongside your team — not thrown over a wall. Validation gates ensure nothing touches a device unchecked.
Documentation and a working pipeline your own engineers run from day one. I leave; the automation stays.
Doug Robertson is a network architect and automation consultant (CCIE) with decades of service-provider and enterprise experience. He has designed, built, and taken live production networks and automation for large-scale operators — from multi-vendor core routing to source-of-truth-driven onboarding pipelines.
DKWT-NetTech packages that experience into engagements sized for teams the big consultancies won't touch: network teams of two to ten engineers who can't hire an automation engineer, but can't keep hand-building configs either.
Fixed-scope sprints are priced by outcome, not by the hour.
One scoping call. If a sprint isn't the right fit for your network, I'll tell you that too.
