I build secure, resilient enterprise and cloud networks across Cisco, AWS, Azure, firewalls, and SD-WAN.

I've designed, deployed, and supported enterprise and data-center networks for RSK UK Ltd., Cloud 9, Bitumat Co. LTD., DXC Technologies, and Tech Throne IT Solutions. My work spans Cisco and Juniper routing and switching, Palo Alto and Check Point firewalls, F5 load balancing, Cisco ACI, SD-WAN, wireless, and secure LAN/WAN infrastructure.

At RSK UK Ltd., I design AWS and Azure networking—including VPCs, VNets, VPNs, load balancers, firewalls, hybrid connectivity, and high availability—while automating network devices with Python and REST APIs. I've also delivered Cisco/Meraki deployments for 500+ branches, migrated firewall and ACI environments, and supported security operations, DNS/DHCP, NAC, Zscaler, and network monitoring.
