What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to cutting-edge networking and DevOps projects in a collaborative, global environment, applying Python, infrastructure automation, and network technologies.

At Kumorai, I automate network provisioning across Cisco IOS-XE, NX-OS, and Palo Alto PAN-OS using Terraform and Ansible. I create modular infrastructure-as-code templates for virtual routers, firewalls, interfaces, and security policies.

I build Python REST APIs and internal tools that improve platform operations and team productivity, while using Cisco Modeling Labs to validate network configurations before production deployment. I also contribute through code reviews, architecture discussions, and resolving critical infrastructure issues.

Previously, I built secure, scalable web applications at Projexels with Flask and PostgreSQL. My projects include plant disease detection with Python and TensorFlow, a car rental management system, and a machine-learning GPA prediction model deployed to cloud infrastructure.
