ABOUT ANVESH B
With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I specialize in designing, securing, and managing complex enterprise networks across global data centers and remote sites. I currently support large-scale infrastructure for clients like Equinix, Health First, JPMorgan Chase, and Qualcomm, ensuring high availability and performance.I am highly skilled in routing protocols such as BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, RIP, and MP-BGP, and proficient with networking platforms like Cisco (ASR, Nexus, Catalyst), Juniper (SRX/SSG), and Arista. My expertise spans data center migrations, VXLAN overlays, and EVPN spine-leaf architecture.I lead firewall deployments and migrations, working with Cisco ASA/FTD, Palo Alto, and Juniper SRX, and integrate solutions with Cisco ISE and FirePOWER. I also configure and manage load balancers including F5 BIG-IP LTM and AWS ALBs to maintain optimal application performance.My work includes cloud integration and automation, connecting on-prem networks with AWS (VPC, EC2, VPN, Security Groups, ALB), and using tools like Ansible and Terraform to streamline deployments. I manage VPN solutions such as IPsec, SSL, DMVPN, and site-to-site for secure communications.In security operations, I implement ACLs, NAT, port security, 802.1x, and integrate RADIUS/TACACS+ for access control. I actively use Wireshark, SolarWinds, QRadar, Extrahop, and BMC Remedy for monitoring, troubleshooting, and incident response.Additionally, I support VoIP, multicast, wireless (Cisco WLC, Meraki), and unified communications to ensure seamless connectivity. I produce thorough network documentation, diagrams, and BOMs, and am experienced in change control, incident handling, and compliance workflows.
