What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on network engineering role focused on SD-WAN/SASE, problem-solving, cross-team collaboration, and opportunities to design scalable, secure networks.

I am a network engineer with strong expertise in SD-WAN, Fortinet platforms, and IP networking, bringing measurable improvements in incident resolution and network reliability across enterprise accounts. I design and implement secure SASE-aligned solutions, reproduce customer issues in lab environments, and collaborate with engineering and vendors to deploy lasting fixes.

My achievements include reducing incident resolution time by 30% and repeat incidents by 40%, expanding bandwidth capacity through LAG and upstream upgrades, and producing SOPs and technical documentation to streamline operations and knowledge transfer. I hold advanced degrees in engineering and project management and certifications including JNCIA and CCNA.
