Worked as a Senior Enterprise Network Engineer managing a Data Center of 5000+ users, working as asingle point of contact for all network related issues of the Data center covering technologies like Routingand Switching, Voice, Wireless and Security working on different vendors like Cisco, Juniper, Aruba.Handling all daily issues of the network, also coordinating with vendors for critical issues, doing all therelevant migrations for the network are some of the core parts of my job.

Project (NYU Abu Dhabi campus System upgrade) Main responsibilities:-Working as a design engineer, providing dedicated CCTV network to the client as per the new governmentregulations.Selecting suitable equipment and methods to meet all the requirements without burdening the clientfinancially.Project (AL-KHAIL AVENUE MALL) Main Responsibilities:- Currently integrated in Al Khail Avenue Mall (NAKHEEL) project as SME for networkdesign and implementation, worked as sales preparer and team leader considering the design according tothe technical specifications and end user requirements, the following systems fell in my scope of work.WORK EXPERIENCEData Network: Data Network design was approved with redundant Nexus 7706 series chassis to supportthe entire network, which consists of more than 250 access points, 300 IP TELEPHONES and 94 access layerswitches.Dedicated CCTV Network: A dedicated CCTV network was proposed with Cisco 4406 series chassis tosupport the entire network consisting of 1800 CCTV cameras of different requirements and terminating onmore than 100 access layer switches as per Dubai Police requirements. The design was simple and accurateaccording to the required specification, keeping the cost as low as possible.Structured Cabling System: In this part of the project, we designed the cabling system for the entire malldepending on the cable requirements for the different systems as indicated, 2 separate 6-core fibers toeach IDF from the MDF to provide the redundant connections to the core and 12-core fibers to each IDF toprovide the redundant connection to the data network since CCTV should be separated at all levels, Cat 6Afor the connectivity of the end devices.ANPR System: The automatic license plate recognition system we proposed and implemented met therequirements of Dubai Police. It was a dedicated system at all levels, as it had to be connected to the police at all times and could be penalized in case of downtime.

I worked here as a Network Engineer, Having designed the entire network along with total implementation of the network which includes 20 Cisco-2960 Switches along with 7613 Cisco router along with ASA-5500( failover implemented) with total of around 170 (active) IP phones and IP cameras and CCTV cameras.

I worked as a freelance Network Engineer and I did various projects and deployments on Enterprise level, which included configuration for pure L2 and also for L3 networks, Secure Gateways, CCTV. During my tenure I had experience with various vendors like Cisco, Juniper and Brocade Fiber switches.
