What I'm looking for
I am an aspiring network specialist with practical experience in NOC operations, network administration, and hands-on lab instruction. I have monitored and troubleshot production networks to maintain availability and SLA compliance while supporting SME customers.
My background includes configuring Microsoft Server services, deploying and managing Cisco and Huawei switches, and working with routing protocols (OSPF, ISIS, BGP) and MPLS/L3 VPNs. I have hands-on experience with FortiGate and Cisco ASA firewalls, firewall policies, and NAT.
I enjoy teaching and mentoring—having served as a junior lab instructor—and I continually pursue training in routing & switching, firewall configuration, and vendor certifications to strengthen my operational and troubleshooting skills.
