At Capgemini IT Solutions India Pvt. Ltd., I lead IT security operations and implementation for an ongoing global SASE migration project. I manage Microsoft Azure security infrastructure, including Prisma Access SSE and Palo Alto firewalls.

For the Prisma Access deployment, I handle planning and setup, remote network onboarding, and bandwidth planning for compute locations. I also support Microsoft Defender for Cloud across CNAPP, CWP, and CSPM.

At Hitachi Systems Micro Clinic Pvt Ltd., I implemented Checkpoint NGFW across multiple locations for a Major Indian Bank and deployed RSA Netwitness Platform SIEM at its datacenter. I also handled Palo Alto Firewall administration for a large pharma company.

Earlier, at SM Networks & Solutions Pvt Ltd., I implemented firewall, endpoint protection, and wireless solutions. My project work included endpoint protection for 128 branches and 2,000 nodes at a Multi-State Bank, and an implementation for 2,500+ nodes across India for a Global Consulting Firm.
