At Safran India Pvt. Ltd., I manage Palo Alto firewalls and Panorama, enforcing security policies across 500+ firewalls and auditing rulebases.

I also administer F5 BIG-IP and deploy Zscaler ZIA and ZPA to support application delivery and Zero Trust remote access. I led zero-downtime migrations and high-availability upgrades for Palo Alto and F5 devices.

At Primus Global Technologies- Client (Accenture), I managed Palo Alto and Fortinet firewalls, VPNs, and NAT policies for enterprise clients. I automated IP and URL allow-list and block-list workflows, reducing manual effort by about 40%.

Earlier, I supported network operations at Clover Infotech Private limited- Client (General Mills) and managed WAN links and Cisco routers at HTP Global Technologies Pvt. Ltd. I hold PCNSE and ZDTE certifications and have a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics & Telecommunication from Shree L.R. Tiwari College of Engineering.
