What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my networking expertise in a collaborative environment, with opportunities for professional growth and innovation.

I am a dedicated Network Engineer with extensive experience in deploying, managing, and optimizing network infrastructure across multi-location environments. My expertise lies in a variety of network protocols, security measures, and advanced routing/switching configurations, which I have successfully utilized to enhance network performance and security.

At Ahana Systems And Solutions, I played a pivotal role in implementing firewall upgrades and deploying intrusion detection systems, significantly improving threat detection and network resilience. I also led the deployment of the CATO Networks SASE solution, ensuring seamless connectivity and robust security across multiple sites. My previous experience at AIG Business Solutions further solidified my skills in configuring and maintaining firewalls and VPNs, as well as providing technical support and training.

With a strong foundation in network administration and a commitment to continuous improvement, I am eager to contribute my expertise to a dynamic organization that values innovation and collaboration.
