About Kunal Adangle

I am a Network and Security Engineer with hands-on experience across Cisco routers and switches, Palo Alto NGFW firewalls, and Panorama. I work confidently with core networking protocols and services including TCP/IP, HTTP, DHCP, DNS and use multiple networking tools to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimise environments. I regularly prepare Plans of Action and present them in CAB calls, create HLD/LLD network designs and Visio diagrams, and keep documentation up to date by adding or removing devices after changes. My day-to-day work includes designing and implementing security and NAT policies, configuring IPsec VPNs, adding routes on firewalls, and integrating BGP with other vendors. I have strong experience deploying end-to-end firewalls in data centres, including BOM validation, POST checks, and Day 1 configuration, as well as replacing legacy firewalls with new models and de-inducting old devices in a controlled and documented manner.
