I have a strong foundation in managing enterprise-grade firewall and network systems, ensuring secure cloud access for thousands of users.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led significant projects, including the deployment of ZPA for over 32,000 users at Mahindra & Mahindra. My role involved policy tuning, access troubleshooting, and daily operations of Zscaler solutions. I am also skilled in developing automation tools using Python to optimize system operations and enhance security measures across various platforms.
