About

I’m Josh, a network engineer who believes clarity beats complexity. After years of troubleshooting real‑world networks, I built The Practical Packet to share straightforward, client‑focused insights on networking, security, and vendor technologies. My goal is simple — cut through the noise, explain how things actually work, and help engineers and IT teams make smarter, more reliable decisions.
