Bharath yadav Golla

I am a Senior Network Engineer with over 6.7 years of hands-on experience designing, deploying, and securing enterprise networks across on-premises and cloud environments. I have implemented and administered Palo Alto, Fortinet, Check Point, Cisco ASA, and Juniper security platforms to deliver robust perimeter and east-west controls.

My work includes designing and operating Cisco ACI fabrics, integrating Nexus and ASR platforms, and optimizing data-center connectivity with AWS Direct Connect and Azure networking. I have configured F5 LTM/GTM load balancers, Cloudflare WAF and bot management, and advanced DNS and routing solutions to improve availability and performance.

I focus on automation and repeatability—building Ansible playbooks, Netmiko scripts, and Terraform-managed infrastructure to reduce manual changes and speed deployments. I have also leveraged Prisma Cloud, Azure Network Watcher, VPC Flow Logs, and Traffic Mirroring for cloud security monitoring and micro-segmentation.

I bring a pragmatic, security-first mindset to network engineering, having contributed to large-scale firewall migrations, multi-vendor integrations, and operational runbooks at financial and telecom organizations. I hold cloud and networking certifications and a master’s in Information Technology and Management.
