About Me – Richard Killeen
I’m a UK-based Network Engineer with over 15 years of experience working in the Service Provider space, currently tackling the challenges of keeping an ISP backbone running (and breaking it in my lab).
I’m on a CCIE Service Provider journey, knee-deep in IOS-XR, MPLS, SRv6, and all things Network Automation. When I’m not wrangling BGP sessions or debugging pyATS scripts, I create networking courses and tutorials to help others level up their skills.
- Courses:
Check out my Juniper and Cisco Service Provider courses on Skill Nuggets, or find me on Udemy. - YouTube Channel:
I post labs, automation walkthroughs, and tech experiments on my channel @SkillNuggets. - Blog & Projects:
Here on richardkilleen.co.uk, I share my CCIE study journey, automation scripts, and real-world lessons from the trenches of ISP networking.
This is where I document projects like pyATS test suites, Ansible playbooks, and network diagrams from my home lab to production.
I love creating content and will be posting regular blogs on all things networking. - AI & TTS Experiments:
I also explore AI in networking, using text-to-speech (TTS), chatbots, and automation tools to improve workflows. Posts that feature AI content are clearly marked and co-created with GPT-4.
