What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my skills in network design and automation, within a collaborative and innovative team environment.

I am a certified Network Engineer with over 4 years of hands-on experience in managing and optimizing LAN/WAN infrastructures. My expertise lies in configuring routing protocols such as BGP, OSPF, and EIGRP, and securing networks with advanced firewall solutions like Cisco ASA and Fortinet. I have a proven track record of deploying SD-WAN solutions and integrating cloud networking services, which has significantly enhanced network performance and security in enterprise environments.

At Wawanesa Group, I successfully designed and deployed SD-WAN across over 100 branch locations, which reduced failover time and optimized bandwidth utilization. My role involved automating network operations using Python and Ansible, which led to a 60% reduction in manual configuration time. I am passionate about leveraging technology to improve network reliability and security, and I thrive in environments that challenge me to innovate and enhance operational efficiency.
