I’m a Cyber Security and Network Security Engineer with 3 years 10 months of experience spanning firewall administration, network security, cloud security, and infrastructure migration. I specialize in enterprise firewall policy governance, secure VPN architecture, and Azure/multi-cloud security consolidation.

I’ve administered and enforced security policies across Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet FortiGate firewall estates, delivering continuous policy compliance and zero unauthorized access incidents. I’ve governed 200+ firewall change requests per quarter, including rule creation, modification, NAT configuration, and access validation—while maintaining audit trails and SLA adherence.

I optimize firewall rule-bases by removing redundant, shadowed, and overly permissive rules, reducing policy complexity by an estimated 20% and improving inspection throughput. I’ve deployed and maintained IPSec Site-to-Site and SSL VPN tunnels, sustaining 99.9%+ uptime with zero unplanned outages, and I run proactive health checks and performance monitoring.

I also strengthen operational readiness through incident response, root cause analysis (RCA), and permanent fixes that reduce repeat issues. In my projects, I supported multi-cloud security migration for Siemens and led Azure network transit and firewall consolidation for OMYA to improve cloud security governance and segmentation.
