What I'm looking for

I seek advanced networking roles focused on SD-WAN, network security, and cloud networking with opportunities to automate, lead troubleshooting, and collaborate with engineering teams.

I am a Senior Network Engineer with over nine years of hands-on experience in routing, switching, security, lab replication, and TAC troubleshooting across global production environments. I replicate customer issues in labs, identify root causes, document solutions, and collaborate with engineering teams to validate fixes.

My technical strengths include OSPF, BGP, TCP/UDP flows, VPNs, ACLs, AAA/TACACS+, SD-WAN (Cisco viptela, Silver Peak), and multi-vendor firewall platforms. I have automated tasks with Python and Netmiko, integrated SolarWinds with ServiceNow for ticket automation, and authored SOPs and knowledge-base articles to improve operational efficiency.

I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Information Systems with a focus on Network Security and Cloud Infrastructure and actively enhancing SD-WAN/TAC troubleshooting skills to contribute to advanced networking and cloud-security roles.
