What I'm looking for

I am seeking a hands-on network security role managing Palo Alto firewalls and enterprise VPNs, with opportunities to work on cloud networking (Azure) and large-scale WAN/BGP operations in a growth-oriented team.

I am a network security engineer with extensive hands-on experience implementing and managing Palo Alto firewalls, VPNs and enterprise routing. I have operated centralized Panorama environments and configured advanced NGFW features such as App-ID, User-ID, GlobalProtect and WildFire.

I have led network operations for large-scale WAN and BGP deployments, prepared MOPs and router configurations, and supported 283 branch networks with incident ownership and RCA preparation. I routinely perform proactive health checks and traffic rerouting during emergencies.

My data-center experience includes managing Juniper core/access devices, load balancers, NIPS, MacAfee SEM/Web Gateway and device uptime reporting for critical infrastructure projects. I have supported cloud networking on Azure VMs and UDRs, and integrated AAA architectures using RADIUS, LDAP and TACACS+.

I hold industry certifications including CCNA, CheckPoint, SD-WAN and Palo Alto (2023), and bring strong troubleshooting skills with tools such as Splunk, QRadar, Wireshark and SolarWinds. I take ownership of escalations and focus on reliable, secure network operations for enterprise environments.
