I’m a Network Engineer with four years of experience, specializing in the administration and development of network installation, maintenance, and security protocols. I build and support reliable network environments by collaborating with diverse technical teams to enhance network functionality.

At National IT Services, I designed, implemented, maintained, and secured network infrastructures for enterprise clients. I manage and optimize network systems to ensure reliability, security, and performance—covering enterprise LAN/WAN architectures, VPNs, wireless networks, and SD-WAN—while staying disciplined with updating network diagrams and documenting ICT equipment.

Previously at Fusertech Technologies (2021–2023), I delivered technical sales support and customer service by offering systems and hardware support, performing troubleshooting and maintenance, and contributing to disaster recovery solutions. I also prepared sales reports and maintained records, working closely with vendors and third-party providers for equipment repairs and software licensing.

I’m hands-on across routing and switching (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, VLANs, VTP, STP) and firewall security using Cisco, Fortinet, and Sophos, with practical experience in access control, encryption, and IDS/IPS. I bring strong administration skills across Windows and Linux, Microsoft 365, and hybrid networking (AWS/Azure, load balancers, NSGs), plus solid operational troubleshooting using tools like SNMP, syslogs, ping, and traceroute.
