ABOUT ANDY FOX
I’m a Senior Network Engineer with a strong foundation in network security, now expanding into NetDevOps and multi-cloud automation. My experience spans designing, securing, and operating enterprise network environments, and I’m currently focused on transforming network workflows through Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD, and cloud-native tooling.Currently working across AWS and Azure, leveraging Terraform and GitLab pipelines to automate network infrastructure, improve consistency, and reduce manual configuration. With hands-on experience in routing, switching, firewalls, cloud networking, and network security controls, I enjoy bridging the gap between network engineering, security, and automation. I’m particularly interested in scalable cloud network design, secure connectivity patterns, and using automation to strengthen security posture.I thrive in roles where I can solve complex problems, optimise systems, and build secure, automated infrastructure that supports business and technical goals. Always learning, always refining—especially in the evolving space of cloud networking and DevSecOps.
