I am an IT network professional with extensive experience in implementing network security, cloud applications, wireless solutions, and network design.I have over 7 years of experience as a network engineer, specializing in provisioning, designing, implementing, and maintaining complex network infrastructures. Throughout my career, I have obtained certifications such as AWS Advanced Networking and CCNP, which have further enhanced my expertise in the field. One of my key strengths is my ability to collaborate effectively with third-party vendors, ensuring the successful deployment and management of wired and wireless infrastructure across multiple sites. This collaboration has resulted in improved wireless network performance and coverage from 800 users to over 2500 users.In my role, I have designed and implemented secure, scalable, and high-performance networks for international customers. By introducing wireless and DWDM solutions in conjunction with OSPF and BGP protocols, I have been able to enhance the core network's capabilities. Daily, I configure and troubleshoot network devices, including Cisco routers, switches, Fortinet firewalls, F5 load balancers, and WAN optimization appliances, to meet customer requirements.To streamline processes and increase efficiency, I have developed network automation scripts using Ansible. These scripts have significantly reduced service-affecting configuration errors and enabled faster provisioning of customer services. Additionally, I am responsible for monitoring network performance and availability using tools such as SolarWinds, MRTG, Libre NMS, Nagios, and others. By taking proactive measures, I ensure the prevention and timely resolution of any network-related issues.Throughout my career, I have collaborated with cross-functional teams, including system administrators, security engineers, application developers, and project managers, to deliver network solutions that align with business requirements. Furthermore, I have taken on the role of providing technical guidance and mentorship to junior network engineers and other IT staff. I am dedicated to sharing my knowledge and expertise to help others grow in their careers.
