DevNet Latin & Hispanic Heritage Month recap

# What happened Cisco DevNet produced a short Spanish-language video series for Latin and Hispanic Heritage Month that profiles four Cisconians working in network automation, software architecture, systems integration, and education. Each episode is a focused interview or walkthrough showing real projects, daily responsibilities, and career decisions. The videos are published on the DevNet YouTube channel and include multiple audio tracks so viewers can listen in Spanish, English, or other supported languages.

# Who appears and what they cover

• Alan Barbosa: An SAO team engineer in Mexico City. He demonstrates NetConnect, a solution he helped build that ties Cisco Catalyst Center, Cisco ISE, and ServiceNow to automate network operations and reduce manual work and human error.

• Ricardo Duque: A Public Sector Sales Engineer covering cities, government, healthcare, and education in California. Ricardo shows Meraki camera automation use cases for physical security in schools and describes his role as a Cisco Academy instructor, bringing DevNet learning into classrooms.

# Why the series matters Technology tools and techniques are globally relevant, but training and documentation are often produced first in English. That creates an access gap for Spanish-speaking developers, network engineers, and students who must translate or work through secondary resources to learn. By producing a Spanish-language series and enabling multiple audio tracks, DevNet reduces that barrier and helps content reach audiences in the language they prefer.

# Practical examples viewers can expect

• Concrete automation workflows using Cisco NSO and integration patterns.
• End-to-end use cases tying infrastructure platforms to ITSM tools like ServiceNow.

• Classroom and public-sector scenarios showing how DevNet material can directly support education and city-level use cases.

# How to watch The episodes are posted on the Cisco DevNet YouTube channel. Use the YouTube player settings to switch audio tracks if you prefer English or another supported language.

# Bottom line The series uses short, real-world profiles to make network automation and DevNet practices more accessible to Spanish-speaking audiences. It focuses on practical work, career pathways, and teaching applications rather than abstract statements, and it deliberately offers multilingual playback to reduce language friction for learners and practitioners.
