Message

At NSE India, I supported L2/L3 operations in a Cisco ACI colocation data center, monitoring fabric health and assisting with routing policy updates and route validation.

I also supported Palo Alto firewalls and handled VXLAN, EVPN, and MP-BGP incidents. I participated in change validation and post-change verification, and tracked incidents and changes in Service Now.

With Intel’s NIC infrastructure validation team, I configured and validated routing and switching protocols in a 100G data center environment. I used IXIA to generate and analyze traffic, and Wireshark and TCPdump for packet-level troubleshooting.

Earlier projects included manual testing of network products and protocols, including Arista Auto Test and wireless LAN. I hold a CCNA and have a background in computer science and networking.
