What I'm looking for

I seek senior networking roles where I can lead complex enterprise/data-center network designs, improve security and automation, and contribute to scalable cloud-connected infrastructures.

I am an experienced Network and Systems Engineer with over 10 years managing DSL, FTTH, WiMax and IP Core networks, delivering reliable enterprise LAN/WAN and data center solutions.

I have deep hands-on expertise in routing and switching (BGP, OSPF, IS-IS), MPLS, EVPN, DPI and high-availability designs, and I have led large-scale deployments including IP RAN and MPLS expansion projects.

My security and cloud experience includes Cisco ASA/FTD, IPsec VPNs, Microsoft Azure, Intune, Entra ID, and Terraform automation, combined with practical data center skills such as rack build, structured cabling and OTDR fiber testing.

I bring project management discipline (AGILE/PRINCE2), strong stakeholder communication, and a track record of producing documentation, MOPs and POCs to ensure secure, scalable, and operationally compliant network solutions.
