What I'm looking for

I'm open to remote roles across Europe, Asia, and Africa.

At BluBank, I lead network architecture and data center design, using Palo Alto Networks security and designing resilient dual-data-center and multi-ISP topologies. I standardize deployment and change-management workflows and automate network and security provisioning with Python, Ansible, and Terraform.

At Shatel, I led the migration to an NGN architecture and upgrades to the backbone and core IP networks. I also delivered CCNA-to-CCIE training for Iranian operators, with more than 5,000 hours of instructor-led courses.
