About this Site

This site is part of an independent series, Internet of People, highlighting the lived realities of modern network engineers and tech experts. Through interviews, feature stories, and firsthand perspectives, we’re capturing what it really means to design, deploy, and maintain the infrastructure behind today’s most demanding environments.

In speaking with Parsram, this project began as a way to document a career built on speed, resilience, and precision. But his story is also a lens into a broader ecosystem of engineers solving high-pressure problems in real time, often with little visibility or credit.

These stories are part of a larger project highlighting IT, featuring experts and their experiences.

The site is unaffiliated with any vendor or product. All opinions and references are drawn directly from interviews, with tools and practices mentioned purely based on experience and relevance.
