I am a Network Engineer with over 5 years of experience in designing, implementing, and managing secure LAN/WAN and SD-WAN networks across hybrid environments. My expertise includes supporting both enterprise and retail infrastructures, where I have successfully managed over 500 retail branches. I have a proven track record in WAN optimization, VPN setup, and network performance tuning in PCI-DSS regulated environments.

Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in enterprise routing protocols such as BGP, OSPF, and EIGRP, as well as firewall configurations using Cisco ASA, Fortinet, and Palo Alto appliances. I am proficient in network automation using Ansible and scripting in Python and Bash, which has allowed me to streamline device provisioning and configuration compliance. My commitment to enhancing network security is evident through my implementation of endpoint protection strategies and Zero Trust policies.

In my recent role, I designed and deployed LAN/WAN architectures that improved uptime by 40% and reduced routing loops by 25%. I am passionate about aligning network infrastructure with evolving business needs while staying current with cybersecurity trends. My strong communication skills and collaborative approach have enabled me to work effectively across cross-functional teams, ensuring that network solutions meet both operational and security requirements.
