What I'm looking for

I'm looking to design enterprise-scale, multi-vendor network solutions, lead technical discovery and proof-of-concepts, and connect customer business goals with resilient, scalable infrastructure.

I've designed and delivered enterprise network solutions across LAN, WLAN, SD-WAN, data center, and hybrid cloud environments for CONNECT Professional Services and Orange Business.

I lead client discovery workshops, translate requirements into high- and low-level designs, bills of quantities, statements of work, and commercially aligned RFP, RFQ, and RFI responses.

My work spans Cisco SD-WAN and SD-Access, Meraki, SASE, multi-vendor wireless, and data center architectures. I use technical presentations, product demonstrations, and proof-of-concepts to move complex sales cycles forward.

Earlier, at GUEST-TEK, I configured and supported cloud-managed and legacy WLAN/LAN networks across Cisco, Aruba, Ruckus, and Extreme. I've also trained new engineers and was recognized at Orange Business with the Change Maker Award for innovation and initiative in service delivery.
