About Badruddin Mohammed

I’m a Network Engineer with hands-on experience building, supporting, and improving enterprise networks in both on-prem and cloud environments. Most of my work revolves around designing reliable, secure connectivity using Cisco routing and switching, along with protocols like BGP and OSPF, and firewall-based security solutions.I’ve worked across data center and cloud setups, using AWS and Azure to support scalable and secure network architectures. My day-to-day experience includes WAN and MPLS environments, SD-WAN deployments, QoS tuning, and designing high-availability networks that can handle real-world traffic and outages.On the security and monitoring side, I’ve supported environments using tools like Splunk SIEM, ExtraHop, and Palo Alto Cortex to help detect issues early, respond to incidents, and keep systems stable. I enjoy troubleshooting complex network problems, automating repetitive tasks where possible, and working closely with application, infrastructure, and cloud teams to get things done.I’ve supported 24x7 operations in financial services, retail, and enterprise environments, with a strong focus on reliability, compliance, and risk awareness. I’m especially interested in remote network engineering roles where I can continue building scalable, secure networks and contribute to long-term improvements.
