In this episode, we feature Matt Vitale, Sr. Network Automation Consultant at Network to Code with 13 years of experience in the networking field.

Matt shares his personal journey of dealing with impostor syndrome, from landing his first network engineering job at Finish Line to presenting at NANOG 87 on overcoming impostor syndrome in network automation. 

Join us as we hear the story of how a simple configuration error led to a major outage at Rackspace and about the importance of being open to making mistakes as also recognizing and celebrating your own mistakes.

“I realized that more people felt imposter syndrome than I realized.
I always thought I was alone, or it was just me and one other person that I'm close with.
And it turns out that a lot of people do.
I think even just bringing that kind of awareness, really can at least help open conversations”
