Kashif Hussain

I’m a Network Engineer with 6 years of experience supporting enterprise and cloud-connected networks in regulated, high-availability environments. I bring hands-on Cisco routing and switching, VPNs, firewalls, and AWS VPC networking, with a strong focus on reliability and operational excellence (99.9%+ uptime).

In my current Cloud Network Engineer role, I own enterprise network operations across corporate and clinical environments supporting regulated healthcare systems. I also drive infrastructure automation with Terraform and Ansible and build/manage AWS cloud networking infrastructure, including VPC design, routing, and secure connectivity for business-critical applications.

My day-to-day impact comes from advanced troubleshooting and routing expertise. I engineer and optimize Cisco infrastructure (OSPF, VLAN segmentation, trunking, ACLs) and support routing protocols like BGP, OSPF, and EIGRP to maintain high availability across WAN environments. Using packet capture and deep Layer 2/Layer 3 diagnostics, I reduce latency and routing failures and improve MTTR for priority incidents.

I also strengthen security and compliance through firewall policy management, network segmentation, and HIPAA-aligned network controls. I lead secure site-to-site and remote-access VPN connectivity, monitor network performance and alerts, and coordinate under ITIL-based change management and SLA-driven production support. Earlier roles strengthened my foundation in managed services, routing failover, and root-cause analysis—consistently reducing incident volume and escalation frequency.
