What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills and offers growth opportunities in network engineering.

I am a dedicated Network Engineer with a strong background in optimizing and managing complex network systems. Currently, I co-lead projects that enhance the efficiency of our unclassified layer 2 network, ensuring that unnecessary VLANs are removed and that our OSPF routing domain is optimized. My experience includes developing Ansible playbooks to automate tasks and utilizing Cisco DNA Center for effective network management.

Previously, I maintained and troubleshot networks for NMCI, working with a variety of Cisco and Brocade devices. My military background as a Signal Support Systems Specialist has equipped me with excellent troubleshooting skills and a solid understanding of network deployment. I am committed to ensuring that all network devices adhere to security requirements and best practices.
