About Naveena Reddy

I’m a network and security engineer with hands-on experience in firewalls (Palo Alto, FortiGate, Cisco ASA), SD-WAN, and network automation using Python. I’ve managed site migrations, secured enterprise networks, and built fiber optic connections for retail and healthcare locations. From configuring firewalls to testing fiber links and automating device checks, I focus on keeping systems reliable, fast, and secure. I’ve also worked with cloud networking (AWS), DWDM, OTDR, and tools like SolarWinds and Wireshark. Always learning, always building better networks.
