Seattle, Washington, United States

As a Senior Network Engineer, I was responsible for designing and implementing LAN IP infrastructure using Layer 2/Layer 3 switching, VLANs, VPC, HSRP, trunking, and routing protocols like EIGRP and OSPF. I led critical projects such as migrating Checkpoint 41k firewalls to Palo Alto 5250 and deploying Palo Alto VM firewalls in Azure Cloud. Additionally, I configured ExpressRoute and VPN connectivity to Microsoft Azure, deploying hub-and-spoke topology, Virtual Networks (VNETs), Network Security Groups (NSGs), and peering between VNETs.I worked extensively on SD-WAN implementations, deploying Viptela hardware and configuring Cisco Meraki SD-WAN across 30 global sites. My role also involved configuring BGP on Cisco ASR/ISR routers for redundant internet connectivity, managing network connectivity issues through NAT entries and firewall rules, and closely collaborating with firewall teams. Furthermore, I provided support for cloud infrastructure, installed monitoring solutions for AWS, Windows, and Linux servers, and worked with Cloud Architects on cloud migration and operations.

Washington, United States

I was responsible for configuring and maintaining routing protocols such as BGP, EIGRP, and OSPF on Cisco routers. I implemented and supported over 250 remote locations across the US and Canada within the VPN. My responsibilities extended to firewall rule remediation, migrating from Checkpoint to Cisco ASA firewalls, and managing over 500 network and security devices, including Palo Alto, Cisco ASA, Fortinet, and Juniper firewalls. I also provided 24/7 on-call support for WLAN network-related issues and played a key role in designing and deploying a standby datacenter for a large enterprise.I gained hands-on experience with Juniper MX80 and MX104 branch routers, performing Junos upgrades and configuring site-to-site IPSEC VPNs for secure connectivity. Additionally, I managed VLAN deployments on core Cisco Nexus switches and handled Cisco Layer 2/3 switches for tasks like VLAN creation, port security, and STP configuration. My role also involved working with load balancing solutions such as F5 BIG-IP LTM, Citrix, and NetScaler to ensure high availability and building connectivity between production and disaster recovery servers. I worked extensively with Blue Coat Proxy Servers and ProxySG for web security and URL filtering. Additionally, I played a part in migrating application servers from on-premise datacenters and NSX private clouds to GCP, as well as installing and configuring Nutanix nodes through IPMI.

Bellevue, Washington, United States

I supported a major Wireless LAN upgrade project, deploying 60 Cisco 3700 series access points on a Cisco 5520 ASA appliance. My expertise spans across managing network security appliances like VMware NSX-T, Checkpoint VSX, Cisco ASA, and Citrix NetScaler load balancers. I am proficient in configuring Virtual Device Contexts (VDCs) on Nexus 7K switches, implementing VLAN trunking and HSRP on Catalyst 6500 switches, and performing NX-OS upgrades on various Nexus platforms. Additionally, I’ve worked with Layer 2 and Layer 3 switching, routing protocols, and encryption technologies like TLS/SSL and IPsec. I also specialize in troubleshooting Blue Coat and Zscaler technologies to resolve escalated proxy issues.My experience extends to cloud security, having implemented Google Cloud Platform (GCP) IAM policies for access control and used Cloud Armor for DDoS protection. I’ve applied configuration changes to Cisco ASA, FortiGate, and Stonegate firewalls, and deployed next-generation firewalls and mobile device management solutions. In collaboration with teams, I’ve led strategic infrastructure planning, coordinated Citrix implementations, and optimized application performance using Citrix NetScaler. My skillset also includes setting up site-to-site VPNs, configuring Access Control Lists (ACLs), and enhancing system security through continuous monitoring and regular maintenance.

Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

I played a key role in various network infrastructure projects, including data center migration, where I implemented critical routing changes on core devices to ensure a smooth transition. I have hands-on experience setting up site-to-site VPN tunnels using Cisco devices and managing IOS upgrades for data center environments consisting of Cisco Nexus 5k, 4500 switches, 3845 routers, and VG224 gateways. Additionally, I led a bandwidth upgrade project for field offices, coordinating with service providers and field support teams, which required redesigning BGP routing and refreshing hardware. I also conducted post-migration configuration cleanup, removing outdated routing statements and updating SNMP, TACACS, and DNS settings.My expertise includes maintaining network infrastructure, identifying risks, and providing solutions to mitigate them. I was the first point of escalation for high-priority issues, working across technologies such as routing, switching, and firewalls. I implemented sparse-dense mode multicast with MBGP and led LAN establishment projects, from cabling to IP address assignment. My experience includes configuring and troubleshooting Cisco routers and switches, working with protocols like RIP, EIGRP, OSPF, STP for loop prevention, and VTP for inter-VLAN routing. Additionally, I have configured standard and extended access lists to enhance network security.
