Senior Network Engineer at Mendocino Labs who restored a 293-site transport network and automated configuration checks.

Message

At Mendocino Labs, I restored a 293-site transport network to full service after SmartSky Networks ceased operations and Mendocino acquired the infrastructure. I re-established routing, provider interconnects, and site connectivity across the estate.

I lead network architecture and implementation across AWS-hosted and distributed enterprise environments. Using Python with Netmiko, NAPALM, and Nornir, I automated configuration audits and validation across 293 sites, reducing a two-day manual verification cycle to 30 minutes.

I standardized configurations with Ansible playbooks and Terraform through GitHub Actions, and integrated AWS and Microsoft Azure networking. I also engineered Peplink SpeedFusion SD-WAN connectivity across 293 remote endpoints for path diversity and carrier redundancy.

Previously, at SmartSky Networks, I managed Palo Alto firewall policies and designed FortiGate and Cisco ASA security policies and IPsec VPN solutions. Across my earlier roles, I worked on Wi-Fi core and aggregation, carrier transport validation, and network architecture documentation.
