Rodrigo Colaco

Hello, I'm Rodrigo Colaço, an engineer in the PS Service Provider Core team at Cisco, based in the beautiful city of Lisbon, Portugal. My path to Cisco has been a fulfilling one, filled with diverse experiences. From part-time jobs to logistics roles, I finally pursued my passion and completed a Master's degree in electronics and computer science. Finding my place at Cisco was a stroke of luck, and I couldn't be happier with my career choice. The collaborative atmosphere, inspiring colleagues, and Cisco's values resonate deeply with me, motivating me to continuously improve and contribute. While I thrive in my professional life, I find solace and joy in nature's embrace. Whether hiking through lush forests or simply riding my motorcycle without a destination, the freedom and connection with the outdoors bring me peace. A quote by Ernest Hemingway speaks to my belief in continuous growth: "There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self." Through this blog, I hope to share my engineering journey, experiences at Cisco, and reflections on the importance of self-improvement and harmony with nature. Thank you for joining me on this exciting adventure!
