Hands-on Technical Proficiency in Cloud Security and Network Engineering
What I'm looking for
As a seasoned Cloud Security Engineer, I leverage my expertise in designing, planning, and deploying complex network systems and solutions. With a strong background in implementing Cisco/Avaya VoIP and providing advanced technical expertise for mission-critical network devices and services, I excel in ensuring network security compliance and mitigating threats.
My proficiency in implementing cryptographic key management, native database encryption, and third-party encryption methodologies enables me to develop and implement robust security measures. With experience in network architecture design, implementation, and migration to Palo Alto, I am well-versed in administering WLAN infrastructures and ensuring seamless integration of security solutions.
As a skilled problem solver, I have a proven track record of conducting change management for Palo Alto and Netscreen firewalls, analyzing network security events, and managing edge router SNMP traffic for major financial clients. I am adept at analyzing packet captures using Wireshark and TCP Dump, and proficient in performing security assessments, penetration testing, and risk analysis.
