About Jason Eldelman:

Jason Edelman founded Network to Code in late 2014. Observing how DevOps was radically changing the IT operational models for systems administrators and developers, Jason saw an opportunity to combine existing technologies from the worlds of DevOps and software development within the networking infrastructure domain to create holistic network automation solutions.

Prior to Network to Code, Jason spent a career in technical sales at Presidio, BlueWater, and Cisco developing and architecting network solutions with his last role at Presidio leading efforts around SDN and programmability. Jason is co-author of O’Reilly’s Network Programmability & Automation book. He is a former CCIE and has a B.E. in Computer Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology.

It’s a quote I’ve lived by for over 20 years. I truly believe anything is possible if you’re always learning, listening, and improving. We continue to break ground every day at NTC, and I’m truly humbled to be part of this team.”
