What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a network engineering and test automation role where I can lead quality-focused deliveries, automate regression testing, troubleshoot protocol issues quickly, and improve releases on Cisco and Juniper platforms.

I’m a Staff Engineer focused on networking technologies, with 12+ years of experience in Routing and Switching and deep testing across L2/L3 protocols. I specialize in protocol testing and troubleshooting on Juniper (M, MX, T-series, ERS) and Cisco (Nexus 9K, XRV9K, ASR 9K) platforms.

I strengthen quality through test plan enhancements, regression analysis, configuring Junos devices, and rapid debugging—then filing actionable bugs with clear reproduction and feedback to developers. I also handle SSL decryption and validate both LAN and WAN environment behavior to keep releases stable.

My hands-on work spans core networking fundamentals and modern overlays, including BGP, OSPF, MPLS, EVPN-VXLAN, SRv6, STP/RSTP, VLAN/LAG, and GIR. I use IXIA, Spirent, and Agilent traffic generators to drive reliable traffic validation and performance/functionality checks.

I’ve led testers and supported multiple deliveries simultaneously, training new members to ramp quickly and building teams when needed. I’ve filed around 270 bugs (180 unique), and I’ve blocked 4–5 releases by submitting valid, high-impact issues—earning repeated appreciation from clients and managers.
