United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Network Engineer with 4+ years supporting secure LAN/WAN, VPN, firewalls, routing, switching, and monitoring across enterprise environments. In my current Senior Network Engineer role, I architect resilient LAN/WAN using Cisco routers, switches, and firewalls, configure BGP/OSPF/VLANs/NAT/ACLs/VPN tunnels, and optimize SolarWinds, syslog, and packet analysis workflows to accelerate incident isolation and sustain reliable availability.
Previously, I integrated SD-WAN and telemetry (Meraki, Cisco DNA Center, ThousandEyes) to improve distributed visibility and hardened wireless/VPN access with ISE/RADIUS/MFA alongside firewall policy improvements. I also bring automation and disciplined change practices—backup procedures and firmware upgrade tracking via PowerShell and ServiceNow—plus strong cross-functional communication that helps align teams and improve outcomes.
