James Lee

James is our Principal Engineer at Salient Networks and has helped take our engineering mastery to new heights. The highest distinction in Cisco engineering is the CCIE (Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert). The vast majority of engineers will never attain this, as the coursework, written tests, and lab tests are brutally hard. Well, James doesn’t have a CCIE certification...he has FOUR of them. James hosts the annual ‘Board Meeting’ for Salient where he teaches our team how to surf, stand-up paddleboard, and windsurf, while he simultaneously cooks for everyone. To this day, we’re not sure how he’s accomplished any of these feats.
