Coming up on top! DevNet Amazing Race
We would like to congratulate Noel Ruault, Outcomex Software Engineer on winning the DevNet Amazing Race!
This race consisted of players participating with a partner or team and selected Cisco technologies of their choice to be quizzed on.

Noel not only answered all the questions correctly, but was the fastest contestant for the day, putting him in the top place of the daily leader board! Just comes to show that no matter what the challenge is, our engineers always come up on top!
