What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and contribute to enterprise network security, Zero Trust, firewall engineering, secure remote access, cloud connectivity, and security modernization initiatives in regulated, high-availability environments.

I've delivered enterprise network security programs for Palo Alto Networks, TCS clients Novartis and GlobalFoundries, and organizations including Schneider Electric and Calpine. My work spans Palo Alto NGFWs, Panorama, Prisma Access, Guardicore micro-segmentation, firewall migrations, and Zero Trust architecture.

I design and troubleshoot secure connectivity across multi-vendor firewall, VPN, routing, switching, and identity environments. I’ve implemented segmentation policies, HA configurations, secure remote access, policy optimization, vulnerability remediation, and M&A integrations while working within formal change control and SLA-driven operations.

I use Python, PowerShell, and Ansible to improve policy reviews, log analysis, audits, backups, and security-rule enforcement. I also align technical controls with NIST, CIS, HIPAA, PCI, DORA, and enterprise governance requirements.
