Message

I'm a CCNP Enterprise certified Network Engineer with over 12 years of hands-on experience supporting, maintaining, and improving large-scale enterprise networks across EMEA, North America, LATAM, and APAC.

Throughout my career, I've worked extensively with Cisco and Arista infrastructure, including Catalyst, Nexus, ISR/ASR, enterprise wireless, and WAN connectivity. My core expertise includes BGP, OSPF, routing and switching, VPNs, network troubleshooting, infrastructure upgrades, and complex production changes.

At Interpublic Group, I supported global network operations across multiple regions, working with international engineering teams on network migrations, incident resolution, infrastructure improvements, and connectivity projects. I've also developed Python-based tools to automate network operations and simplify repetitive tasks.

I hold CCNP Enterprise, CCNA, and AWS Solutions Architect Associate certifications, with additional experience in cloud connectivity, Cisco ISE, Juniper Mist, and enterprise wireless environments.

What I enjoy most is hands-on network engineering: troubleshooting complex issues, implementing network changes, improving reliability, and working with modern enterprise networking technologies.

I'm currently based in Romania and looking for fully remote Senior Network Engineer or L3 Network Operations Engineer opportunities with international teams, where I can contribute my technical experience while continuing to develop my networking expertise.
