Message

At ENCS, I configure and administer Fortinet FortiGate firewalls across enterprise sites, including inter-VLAN routing, SD-WAN, and secure SSL and IPSec VPN tunnels.

I led end-to-end firewall migrations, from planning through post-migration validation, and implemented SD-WAN for optimized routing and WAN resilience.

I built enterprise monitoring with Zabbix, PRTG, FortiAnalyzer, and FortiCloud, providing real-time alerts and performance dashboards across network segments. I also deployed FortiAP wireless access points with VLAN segmentation across multiple sites.

I manage hybrid identity and Microsoft 365 administration, and maintain VMware ESXi and Proxmox environments. My certifications include PCNSE and FortiGate 7.4 Operator.
