What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on senior network role where I can lead enterprise network architecture, execute migrations (ACI/SD-WAN), improve security and automation, mentor teams, and drive operational excellence in a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

I am a seasoned Senior Network Engineer with over 13 years of experience designing, deploying, and operating complex enterprise networks across data centers and global WANs. I have deep hands-on expertise in Cisco ACI, SD-WAN (Viptela), Nexus platforms, routing protocols, security appliances, and automation.

I have led major migrations and implementations—ACI fabric deployments, ASA-to-FTD migrations, SD-WAN rollouts, Nexus and WLC deployments, and F5 integrations—while driving incident, change, and capacity management. I consistently deliver HLD/LLD documentation, SOPs, and training to L1/L2 teams and manage vendor coordination and compliance activities.

I bring a proactive, strategic approach to problem solving, strong interpersonal and leadership skills, and a commitment to continuous learning and operational excellence to help organizations scale resilient, secure, and automated network infrastructures.
