What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster growth, collaboration, and innovation in network security.

I am a detail-oriented and technically proficient Network Security Engineer with over 3 years of hands-on experience in managing, troubleshooting, and optimizing enterprise network infrastructure. My expertise lies in configuring and maintaining firewalls, switches, and load balancers across multi-vendor environments, including Cisco, Juniper, and Fortinet. I am committed to ensuring high availability and security of critical systems while continuously learning and staying updated with the latest networking trends.

Throughout my career, I have successfully administered Juniper SRX firewalls in high availability clusters, configured IPSec VPN tunnels, and optimized traffic routing to support seamless business continuity. My strong analytical and communication skills have enabled me to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and provide comprehensive support for incident response and root cause analysis of network-related issues. I take pride in my ability to deliver tasks within specific SLAs and ensure proper traffic flow while implementing security policies tailored to client requirements.
