At Sera Networks Inc. (Taiwan), I lead PoC evaluations for SONiC-based open networking platforms, including solution validation, feature testing, and performance benchmarking. I also develop repeatable validation frameworks and provisioning automation with Ansible and Python.

I design and validate low-latency AI/HPC data center fabrics, EVPN-VXLAN overlays, and multi-site Data Center Interconnect architectures. My work includes tuning RoCE/RoCEv2 fabrics with PFC, ECN, buffer tuning, and RDMA optimization.

At PPD — Part of Thermo Fisher Scientific, I operated global network environments and handled escalated P1 incidents across LATAM, USA, EMEA, and APAC. I supported Arista and Cisco Nexus data centers alongside SD-WAN, network security, and DDI platforms.

Earlier, I led network infrastructure activities for State Bank of India through Sify Technologies, including branch migrations and upgrades. Across roles at Velocis Systems, Alpha Design Technologies, Open Future Technologies, and Elite Technologies Middle East W.L.L, I designed and supported enterprise, defense, and service-provider networks.
