What I'm looking for

I seek roles that challenge my network automation and security skills, offer growth in network architecture and DevNet practices, and emphasize collaboration, stability, and continuous learning.

I am an experienced Network Analyst with over four years in network operations, automation, and enterprise security, delivering high-availability solutions and incident resolution for large-scale NOC environments.

I have hands-on expertise configuring Cisco switches, implementing BGP and EIGRP, and deploying next-generation firewalls including Palo Alto and FortiGate, while maintaining compliance and uptime targets.

I leverage Python scripting, REST APIs, Cisco DevNet practices, and IaC concepts to automate processes, reduce MTTR, and support continuous improvement in network reliability and security.
