About Prasanna Kumar
I’m a Network Operations Engineer with 6+ years of experience ensuring uptime, performance, and security across enterprise-scale network environments. Over the years, I’ve moved beyond traditional NOC work into network automation and DevOps practices, using tools like Python, Ansible, and Grafana/Prometheus to streamline repetitive tasks and improve reliability.Some highlights from my journey: • Automated backups, configuration pushes, and device decommissioning tasks using Python & Ansible. • Improved visibility into network health by deploying Prometheus monitoring with Grafana dashboards. • Hands-on with AWS networking fundamentals—VPC design, subnetting, and security groups. • Certified in Juniper JNCIA (Junos, DevOps, MistAI) and JNCIS-ENT, with strong foundations in routing, switching, and automation.What drives me is solving operational bottlenecks and transforming manual processes into scalable, automated workflows. I’m now focusing on opportunities as a Network Automation Engineer / Cloud Networking Specialist, where I can combine my NOC experience with automation and cloud expertise to deliver faster, more reliable infrastructure. Open to connecting with professionals in network engineering, cloud, and automation to exchange ideas and explore opportunities.
