What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities to leverage my expertise in network technologies within a dynamic organization that values innovation and growth.

I am a seasoned Network & Security Professional with over 14 years of experience in presales and post-sales roles, specializing in network and security technologies. My extensive background includes working with Tier-1 global service providers, where I have successfully driven market penetration and revenue growth through innovative solutioning and enablement strategies. My expertise spans across various technologies, including NFV, SDN, SD-WAN, and SASE, which I have leveraged to lead pre-sales activities and foster customer relationships.

Throughout my career, I have held pivotal roles, such as Senior System Engineer at Versa Networks, where I built the SASE/SD-WAN business platform from the ground up. My tenure at Accenture as a Network Consultant - Team Lead allowed me to implement and transform the Accenture Global Backbone Network, ensuring optimal network performance for clients. I hold a Master of Science in IT and a Bachelor of Computer Application, which underpin my technical acumen and project management skills.
