What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth in network automation and cloud technologies.

I am a dedicated Network Development Engineer with extensive experience in designing and managing complex network infrastructures. Currently, I work at AWS, where I focus on deploying AWS Direct Connect solutions that enhance hybrid cloud connectivity for enterprises. My role involves automating deployments using AWS CLI and CloudFormation, which has significantly improved efficiency and reduced deployment times.

Previously, I served as a Senior Network Engineer at ITARMI, where I honed my skills in configuring advanced networking solutions and managing security protocols. My technical expertise spans a wide range of networking technologies, including routing protocols, VPNs, and load balancers. I am passionate about leveraging automation tools like Ansible and Python to streamline network operations and enhance performance.

With a Master's degree in Information Technology and Business Management, I combine technical proficiency with strong project management skills. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, as evidenced by my certifications in Cisco networking. I thrive in collaborative environments and am eager to contribute to innovative projects that push the boundaries of network technology.
