What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a network-focused role where I can own operations and improvements—routing/switching, load balancing, WLAN, and security—using proven monitoring and troubleshooting practices, and collaborate with teams through clear project delivery and support SLAs.

I am a certified network engineer with over ten years of experience in Network operations, deployment, maintenance, troubleshooting, and monitoring tasks. At LUMS, I implement and configure Big IP F5(LC), CITRIX(ADC 5910), and Sandvine for bandwidth aggregation, load balancing, and bandwidth shaping across campus and ISP links.

I handle routing and switching across Cisco platforms (Nexus 9508/6509 and multiple Catalyst switches/routers) and manage enterprise WLAN in HA mode using Cisco Wireless LAN Controller 9840 and 5508. I also configure security and visibility with Palo Alto (IPS/URL filtering) and FortiGate/FortiAnalyzer (HA, Site-to-Site, IPsec, and SSL VPN), while monitoring LAN & WLAN using SolarWinds NPM, MRTG, ManageEngine NetFlow, and Kiwi Cat tools for reliable operations.
