What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a high-availability network engineering role that blends cloud networking, automation, and observability—delivering reliable uptime, faster incident response (MTTD/MTTR), and secure, scalable architectures with strong cross-functional collaboration.

I’m a Network Engineer with 10+ years building, securing, and automating enterprise and cloud network infrastructure. I bring hands-on expertise in routing and segmentation fundamentals like BGP/OSPF and VLAN/L2-L3 architectures, plus AWS VPC and Azure cloud networking for hybrid connectivity. I’m known for driving high reliability with 99.9%+ uptime and zero-downtime migrations in high-availability environments.

My observability mindset is a core differentiator: I’ve leveraged Splunk, Grafana, Datadog, SolarWinds, and Cloudflare to deliver real-time traffic analysis, alerting, and incident reduction. In SLI/SLO-driven, platform-style network operations, I’ve supported continuous traffic monitoring and log analysis to improve MTTD and MTTR.

I also operationalize networks through automation—using Python, PowerShell, and Bash for reporting and network operations—so teams can move faster with consistent execution. Across roles, I’ve partnered cross-functionally with security, infrastructure, and application teams to standardize network stability and performance while maintaining strong change-management and reliability practices.
