WORK HISTORY
Principal Network Automation Engineer @Vantage Data Centers
Toronto, ON, CA
Created detailed Low-Level Design (LLD) for Network automation architecture, covering workflows, templates, CI/CD logic, Netbox Plugins …Developed automated workflows for Arista and Fortinet environments using Python, Ansible, Arista AVD, and REST APIs — reducing configuration effort by 80% and increasing deployment consistencyDeveloped an automated network digital twin solution by integrating NetBox with GNS3, enabling dynamic topology generation and configuration deployment for simulation and validation purposes.Integrating Netbox as source of truth with Fortimanager as network controllers, Opmanager and Github Actions for configuration API-driven automation Optimized WAN and campus infrastructure, improving routing performance, QoS enforcement, NAT policy management, and IPSec VPN stability across hybrid cloud and on-prem Led deep L2–L7 diagnostics using packet captures, telemetry, flow data, and API-based telemetry tools to resolve critical incidents and identify root causes Partnered with security and cloud teams to implement segmentation policies, enforce zero-trust principles, and secure hybrid infrastructure designs Mentored junior engineers and championed automation best practices — creating reusable Ansible playbooks, modular scripts, and standardized network design templates
