Chatting With Erika Dietrick- Developer Advocate – AI & Cybersecurity At Cisco From Darmstadt, Hesse, United States- had the pleasure of interviewing Erika Dietrick for my podcast, where we discussed her incredible journey and impactful work as a Developer Advocate specializing in AI and Cybersecurity at Cisco Systems. Erika brings over six years of experience in network and software engineering, working across both Fortune 100 companies and startups, with a strong focus on cybersecurity.

In her current role at Cisco, Erika has made waves with her innovative contributions:

• She was honored as a Distinguished Speaker at her first Cisco Live and tech conference.
• Recognized as a Subject Matter Expert (SME) in AI and Cisco Security.
• Earned Cisco DevNet’s “Greatest [Community] Impact” Award for Q4FY24.
• Achieved remarkable social media reach, with LinkedIn highlights including 1M views for tech lifestyle content, 470K+ for technical tutorials, and 867K for a tech comedy skit.
• She founded Cisco DevNet’s first podcast focused on DevSec/AppSec, trained global teams on short-form video content creation, and judged Cisco DevNet’s inaugural code challenge.

Erika’s passion for mentoring aspiring engineers, especially through platforms like LinkedIn and Girls Who Code, is truly inspiring. She also holds certifications in CCNA and DevNet Associate and earned her Master’s degree in Software Engineering from East Carolina University.

It was an absolute honor to hear Erika’s insights and experiences. You can follow her on TikTok, Instagram, and X (@erika_thedev) for updates on her amazing work in AI, cybersecurity, and developer advocacy!
