What I'm looking for

I seek technical roles in networking, data centers, or cloud infrastructure where I can lead deployments, improve network quality, and mentor teams in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am a hands-on network engineer and IT professional with extensive experience in enterprise-grade telecommunication networks, ISP operations, data center installation, and server systems. I specialize in configuring and troubleshooting WAN/LAN, SD-WAN, MPLS, OSPF, IPSec, VLANs, and related network technologies.

I have deployed and maintained data center infrastructure, performed rack-and-stack, configured Cisco switches, and driven telecom network quality improvement at carrier and ISP environments. My background includes working with Huawei, Cisco Meraki, MikroTik, and fiber optics implementations.

Alongside technical delivery, I have led technology teams, developed product and technology strategy, and managed community education programs. I founded and coordinated training programs delivering instruction in networking, programming, robotics, AI, database management, and cybersecurity.

My achievements include academic awards for excellence and successful implementation of secure government LANs using tunnelling and routing protocols; I bring a practical, service-focused approach and a strong willingness to learn and mentor others.
