Omar Atabany
@omaratabany
Presales Systems Engineer (Cisco, Aruba, Fortinet) who also builds and runs what he designs, from NAC/RADIUS to Kubernetes homelabs.
What I'm looking for
I lead technical pre-sales, solution architecture, implementation, and maintenance for Cisco, Aruba/HPE, Fortinet, Dell, VMware, and Kaspersky environments at iNetwork Solutions.
I turn client requirements into deployable designs across networking and security, including a hardened PacketFence and Aruba NAC deployment with dynamic RADIUS VLAN assignment, EAP-TLS/PKI authentication, and multi-tier authentication fallback. I've also rebuilt a failed Certificate Authority, audited Active Directory Group Policies, and built Python and Prometheus telemetry pipelines feeding live Grafana dashboards.
Alongside infrastructure work, I founded Fabricode, where I deploy industrial pellet-fed FDM printers and design parametric parts for fabrication, repairs, and client hardware requests.
I run a self-hosted homelab using Unraid, Proxmox, Kubernetes, Docker Compose, Terraform, ArgoCD, GitHub Actions, Prometheus, Grafana, Wazuh, Splunk, and Shuffle. I prefer understanding the full stack, keeping control of infrastructure and data, and documenting everything in version-controlled IaC.
