Hi — I'm Cian & Welcome to cianfish.co.uk

Who Am I?

I am a Site Reliability Engineer @ Cisco Systems. I design, build, and troubleshoot modern enterprise networks — with automation, observability and artificial intelligence in mind!

Over the last couple years, I have obtained my CCNA, DevNet Associate & DevNet Specalist. My 2026 goal is to get my full CCNP by studying for the AUTOCORE exam.

I graduated at Southampton Solent University where I obtained my bachelor degree "Computer Systems & Network Engineering". I was also awarded the British Computing Society Award!

Outside of work, I like to explore & do activities that challenge me, such as marathons and MMA.

Latest blog posts

I publish a short post each week about networking, automation, personal projects and goals.
