I'm a dedicated Network Engineer with a passion for architecting and optimizing hybrid environments in AWS, Azure and On-Premise Networks-Datacenter Efficiency: I've played a pivotal role in transforming on-premise datacenters. By eliminating unnecessary equipment and reconfiguring existing resources, I've not only cut operational costs but also enhanced redundancy and reliability.-AWS & Azure: Proficient in designing, deploying, and managing cloud environments, ensuring scalability, security, and availability. Set up AMI's as well as regular backups to protect Instances and RDS data. Set up Read Only Replication for Production Databases to allow access to information without the risk of data loss.-Firewall Configuration: Adept in configuring Palo Alto and FortiGate Firewalls to safeguard critical assets and data. Configured Global Protect VPN, for SDWAN configurations for both ingress and egress of network traffic, BGP, IPSEC Tunnels, NAT and Security Policies to protect the network while maintaining up to date firmware upgrades to stay protected from known vulnerabilities.Network Architecture: Experienced in designing, implementing, and maintaining complex network infrastructures. Re-Designed Network infrastructure for easier configurations, utilized all aspects of Cisco Devices to remove excess VLANs, trimming down the network to what is necessary and keeping a secure environment, set up VTP between layer 3 and Layer 2 devices as well as BGP Routing between our network devices.Datacenter Consolidation: Expert in streamlining on-premise datacenters for improved performance and cost-effectiveness.-Cloud Cost Optimization: I take pride in my ability to identify cost-saving opportunities, having successfully reduced monthly cloud expenses by $10,000 through strategic resource allocation and optimization.

At Park Place Technologies, my core responsibility is to collaborate with international teams and clients while configuring switches, and programming SD-WAN connections. -One of my key tasks was to handle work alerts and effectively triage network issues, promptly address disconnected switches and coordinate with on-site staff for thorough investigation.-I am a quick and motivated learner who worked with wide range of cisco switches from 2900 to 9300s as well as Cisco ISE for TACACs and RADIUS logins. Conduct regular switch firmware upgrades to enhance network performance and reliability. -I was entrusted with managing network documentation by updating and organizing network notepads for all sites.-My notable duties were to ensure accurate and up-to-date information on new switches and APs, maintaining organized Google Drive databases for easy access and reference.My accomplishments within this role are following:• Initiated a large-scale project in response to the company's division into two entities, leading the configuration of VLANs to ensure separate and secure network environments for each company.• Revolutionized the team's approach to network configuration by introducing streamlined coding methods and leveraging Cisco DNAC, Cisco WLCs, and APs for enhanced network performance.

• Troubleshoot and supported a variety of LAN/WAN/WLAN networks across the west coast for Retail Division• Implemented the use of Cisco Meraki switches, FortiGate firewalls, Ironsphere, and Zscaler for new branch locations.• Worked in both Azure and AWS environments to configure network needs.• Utilized Visual Code studio to implement consistent and mass network changes and repairs. Running codes with Python, Powershell, and the Cisco CLI• Maximized network performance by configuring LogicMonitor Notifications to alert early to resolve issues for branches before they become issues• Cleared our network security vulnerabilities resolving past and pre-emptively solving future issues from Rapid 7.• Oversaw implementation of IPSEC-Tunnels from Retail Branch Locations to Headquarters all across the west coast.• Wrote configuration changes on network/firewall and established SOP database with Network Configurations
