Started working with Meraki a few months ago and still having fun
I like the sound of analog HiFi equipment, especially the sound of vinyl.

Hi everyone!
I am Marcos Lopez, currently an IT Support Specialist at Harbar LLC.
I have worked with a third party vendor managing the Network Infrastructure, originally we had only the AP and few SW under Cisco-Meraki, however, I arrange the project to consolidate all our infrastructure to Cisco-Meraki devices, finally, we have (Firewalls, Switches, AP) and I am enjoying the dashboard where I can see all my network.
Right now I am evaluating the possibilities to also have Cisco-Meraki IP Cameras over the buildings.
Thanks in advance for your help!
I am a presales engineer who works for ho1a metrocarrier a cisco gold partner company in Mexico, I've been in networking and other IT verticals for going on 10 years now.

Hi, my name is Ted and I work for a partner in North Carolina called NorthState Technology Solutions. We offer a Meraki as a Service solution among many other things.
I have been in the industry about 40 years and 18 of those were directly with Cisco. I need to get some hands-on with Meraki;)! While I sell it, I need to actually use it - someone want to send me gear;)!
One interesting fact is that when I was a kid, most parents had their kids take piano or guitar lessons. My Mom is Polish so I had to take the Accordian;)!
This spring I started seriously with Meraki (deploying & activation). Have mostly worked with Cisco MPLS networks before.
Hello! My name is Jason and I work for an ISP in Canada. We are using Meraki for several diverse clients - any where from small business to enterprise/campus level deployment sizes.

I am new to Meraki , I recently purchased a Meraki MX64W with advance security license.
I find the product amazing
I am trying to learn how the Meraki product line fits together and learn all the in and outs of configuring and understanding the technology.
Communities are always a great place to start, looking forward to reading the posts.
Anyone have a good starting point (please do not say Meraki.com, I have been there notorious times and I do agree it is a great resource)
One of the best interview question I have ever had as a engineer was . What was the biggest thing you ever broke as a network engineer. I ask why and was told if you never broke anything you never did anything.
We all do have our moments, and I had my share : )
Thank you
I work for a Cisco partner called "Netsync" located in Dallas, TX, US.

We provide network/infrastructure/security services to small and medium-size business clients throughout the region. We are a "Dell and Cisco" shop so to speak - and try to implement Meraki wherever we can (it's been a lifesaver!).
I play drums, bass, and guitar in 3 different bands.

Hi @anthony225 and welcome to the Meraki Community!
One good place to start in learning about Meraki, if you want a bit of a guided tour, is our "Preview" ECMS1 course, which introduces you to Meraki and to navigating the Meraki dashboard. You can find that here: https://community.meraki.com/t5/ECMS1/ct-p/ecms1 (scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the "Take me to the preview" page). You may also be interested in registering for the full ECMS1 course, which is an all-day instructor-led virtual course (but, be warned that demand for ECMS1 is high and sessions do fill quickly!)
You can also, of course, just ask your questions here on the community (in the relevant board under Product & Technology Discussions) and our friendly community members will answer.
Cheers!

Hello to all! Thanks for the warm welcome.
- A bit about myself & my work:
I am a technology enthusiast since I was a kid, when I loved to play and thinker with computers. In college I got a B.S. in electronics engineering, but my first job at a telephone company led me to a career in networking. There, I learned to build and configure networks with Cisco gear, then moved on to work with a system integrator where I had roles of engineering and management. There I had the opportunity to sell, design and/or support networking and security solutions from many vendors, like Cisco, Checkpoint, Fortinet, Nortel Networks, Juniper and Citrix. Currently I work in pre-sales engineering of a Cisco Meraki partner located in the Dominican Republic.
- Experience with Cisco Meraki:
My Cisco experience has been so far mainly with the main networking lines, and recently I have been involved with Meraki, learning from courses, webinars, and the excellent documentation. So far, I am impressed how feature rich is the Meraki line, and how easy it is to install and support.
- Fun facts about myself:
I am a fan of all good music, no matter the genre: classical, pop, rock, alt-rock, indie, jazz, electronic, ballads, oldies... I also love computer and video games, specially the ones from the 8-bit era!

A fun fact about yourself
