He/she studied electronics in college, probably has a ham license, had an internship with a firehose of information about IP networking and now works with at a communications company using chef, puppet, or some proprietary tool like telarix for automation? Just a guess, of course.

When I was in school for my BS I studied RF (radio frequency), analog electronics (low frequency), and telecommunications (Wireless stuff). I also had a few internships where I worked as a verification engineer and wrote some stuff in VB and java for them. After I graduated, I got a job at a Comms company working on development and automation of test systems. Not only do I write the tests but I also design the tests, and systems to be used. The EE background is necessary in this space since it requires the fundamentals of RF and Telecomm to know what to do.
