What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on network/IT role where I can manage Cisco networks, improve security/uptime, work with a collaborative team, and grow into advanced network or security responsibilities.

I am an experienced IT Network Engineer with over 7.5 years in hardware, networking and systems support, skilled in configuring Cisco switches and routers, access points, VLANs, routing protocols and basic firewall setups (Sophos & FortiGate). I have supported multi-branch bank environments, managed assets, performed backups, and handled daily leased-line monitoring and LAN troubleshooting.

I hold certifications including Fortinet Certified Fundamentals in Cybersecurity (NSE1/NSE2) and Cisco cybersecurity coursework, plus hardware and networking engineering credentials (A+, N+, CCNA, MCITP). I am responsible, a strong communicator, and thrive in team and individual settings where I can continue to grow technical skills and deliver reliable network operations.
