What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my network engineering, security, and full-stack development experience to enterprise infrastructure challenges, particularly SDN, SD-WAN, routing, and secure distributed systems.

I'm advancing SDN Fabric versus SD-WAN Overlay analysis at Nokia, evaluating trade-offs across three carrier topologies for distributed datacenter interconnects. My MSc work at the University of Amsterdam focuses on security and network engineering, including BGP, OSPF, EVPN-VXLAN, SRv6, SD-WAN, and TCP/IP.

Previously at Capgemini, I led full-stack policy-management development, reducing processing time by 30%, and built micro-frontend applications that improved backend and database performance by 25%. I've also managed complex RFP responses at Consulting Factory and tested underwater communication protocols at CSIR–National Institute of Oceanography.
