PCNSE-certified Network Security engineer focused on Palo Alto firewalls and rapid incident resolution.
What I'm looking for
I am a PCNSE-certified Network Security professional transitioning from System Engineering toward a TAC Engineer role, bringing over two years of hands-on Palo Alto Networks experience. I specialize in configuring, managing, and troubleshooting PA-Series and VM-Series firewalls and optimizing PAN-OS performance.
I have led incident management for Severity-1 business-critical cases, performing deep-packet analysis and root cause analysis that significantly reduced MTTR. I am proficient with Panorama, IPSec and SSL VPNs, GlobalProtect, and core routing protocols like BGP and OSPF.
My troubleshooting toolbox includes Wireshark, tcpdump, PAN-OS CLI, packet captures, and comprehensive log analysis for rapid problem isolation and remediation. I also have experience deploying VM-Series firewalls across AWS, Azure, and GCP cloud environments.
I take pride in mentoring colleagues, delivering technical enablement, and providing clear remediation guidance to minimize downtime and improve product quality. I am eager to contribute high-quality technical support and continuous product improvement as a TAC Engineer.
