What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior network/security role where I can lead infrastructure design, strengthen cloud identity security, and drive uptime in a collaborative, growth-focused environment.

I am a highly-skilled Network and Security Engineer with extensive experience designing, implementing, and securing complex enterprise networks across multi-vendor environments.

I have hands-on expertise with Fortinet firewalls, Cisco Nexus/ASR/ISR platforms, Cisco DNA Center, and a modern foundation in cloud and identity security, supported by Microsoft and Google certifications.

In my current L2 Network Engineer role I lead advanced troubleshooting, design multi-site infrastructure, administer monitoring systems like SolarWinds, and maintain enterprise wireless and data centre routing/switching to maximise uptime.

I am dedicated to continuous learning and cloud security best practices, holding multiple Microsoft and Google security certifications and actively pursuing additional cloud training to keep pace with evolving enterprise requirements.
