What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in a dynamic environment that values innovation and security, offering opportunities for growth and collaboration.

I am an accomplished IP Network and Security Engineer with over 12 years of hands-on experience in designing, implementing, and managing large-scale IP/MPLS networks and security infrastructures. My expertise lies in securing data center, corporate, and Internet-facing environments for multinational telecoms. I possess deep knowledge of network security architecture, risk and vulnerability management, and compliance with industry standards. I am adept at leading cross-functional teams, managing vendor relationships, and driving innovation in network security.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed the operation and maintenance of IP/MPLS nodes and security systems, ensuring service assurance meets or exceeds SLAs. I have developed and maintained IP address management strategies and aligned Quality of Service definitions across global networks. My technical skills include firewall administration, intrusion detection, DDoS mitigation, and VPN solutions, which I have utilized to implement robust security measures and optimize network performance.

I am certified in Fortinet NSE4, Cisco Service Provider, and cloud security platforms, and I continuously strive to enhance my knowledge and skills. My achievements include improving MPLS resource utilization by 20% through automated traffic engineering and leading security audits with zero critical findings during ISO 27001 reviews. I am passionate about training stakeholders on security best practices and am committed to fostering a culture of security awareness.
