As a dedicated Network Engineer with a year of specialized experience, and several more as an all-around technician, I'm adept at managing and implementing diverse network solutions. Currently certified with Network+, and in pursuit of my Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) certification, I am always seeking to update my knowledge to stay at the cutting edge of network technology.My career highlights include the successful deployment of 11 Palo Alto Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) across the Alaska Business Unit, and managing the transition of sites from legacy Business DSL connections to Fiber Dedicated Internet Access (DIA). This project improved both connection quality and reliability of the network, delivering noticeable enhancements to business operations.One of my strongest abilities is to listen and think deeply through complex issues, enabling me to diagnose and troubleshoot efficiently. Coupled with a knack for clear, concise communication, I aim to deliver meaningful results that drive customer satisfaction.I am on a professional trajectory towards a senior role, where I can apply my advanced networking knowledge to identify operational areas for improvement and address pressing issues. My goal is to contribute to an organization that values forward-thinking, efficiency, and high-quality service.
