## About

```text
At SPIE ICS, I architected and deployed Zero-Touch Provisioning workflows in Extreme XIQ-SE across five sites, reducing manual device configuration time by 85%. I also designed Zabbix templates that provide aggregated visibility into network fabric health, protocol adjacencies, and critical service availability.

I led a datacenter migration initiative using Juniper Apstra and VMware NSX-T with Jenkins and Bitbucket CI/CD pipelines. The Terraform automation I developed reduced deployment time from six hours to 45 minutes per environment.

At Orange, I built a Python automation platform for Arista CVP to manage VLAN lifecycles across production devices. I also developed audit frameworks and maintained an AWX/Ansible platform; earlier, at 3V Finance, I deployed Zabbix monitoring and Grafana dashboards for network visibility and capacity planning.
