What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and automate secure, highly available enterprise and hybrid-cloud network infrastructure, collaborating with cloud, security, and infrastructure teams to improve performance, resilience, and operational efficiency.

At AT&T, I architect and implement enterprise WAN connectivity across MPLS, SD-WAN, VPN, and hybrid cloud environments for enterprise customers.

I've optimized BGP and OSPF routing policies to reduce network convergence time by 32%, and engineered resilient Cisco and Palo Alto infrastructure that achieved 99.99% production network availability.

I automate provisioning and configuration validation with Python, Ansible, and REST APIs, reducing manual provisioning effort by 45 hours per month. I also use SolarWinds, Cisco DNA Center, NetFlow, and SNMP to identify performance issues and reduce critical-service MTTR by 28%.

Previously at Tech Mahindra, I supported LAN, WAN, wireless, routing, firewall, VPN, and NOC operations for banking and enterprise customers, reducing recurring connectivity incidents by 25% through root-cause analysis and preventive maintenance.
