   I’m an experienced Network Engineer with a strong background in designing and modernizing scalable, secure, and high-performing network infrastructures across data centers, campus environments, and multi-cloud platforms. My work blends hands-on technical expertise with strategic planning to deliver robust hybrid IT solutions.I’ve led major data center migrations from Cisco 6500/6800 to Nexus 7K/9K with VXLAN EVPN, and implemented Leaf-Spine architectures using Arista switches with eBGP and STP. I’ve built secure multi-cloud environments using Aviatrix, connecting AWS, Azure, and GCP, while deploying enterprise-grade AWS VPCs with Direct Connect, Transit Gateway, and IAM best practices.Automation is central to my approach—I’ve used Python and Ansible to automate Cisco ACI fabric deployments, streamline provisioning across Cisco IOS, NX-OS, ASA, and reduce manual errors by over 60%. I’ve also integrated firewall policies with Palo Alto, VMware, and FMC, and transitioned ASA to FTD for advanced threat protection.From deploying SD-WAN solutions with Meraki and Viptela to rebuilding wireless infrastructure with Cisco WLC, DNAC, and Cisco ISE, I ensure secure and high-availability networks. I’ve implemented zero-trust policies, segmented VLANs, enforced least-privilege access, and monitored environments using Splunk, ELK Stack, SolarWinds, and ExtraHop.I’ve collaborated closely with InfoSec to meet HIPAA, PCI, and SOC 2 compliance and advised leadership on infrastructure strategy, capacity planning, and modernization initiatives. My goal is to bridge innovation and reliability in every network I design.Let’s connect if you\'re looking to drive transformation in enterprise networking and cloud connectivity.
