02 / Expertise

Across the entire path.

From the first hop to the application, I work across the systems that keep people connected.

01

Network infrastructure

Bringing new facilities online, migrating clinic networks, and supporting wired and wireless connectivity from deployment through daily operations.

  • Cisco / Extreme Networks
  • LAN / WLAN
  • BGP / OSPF
  • WAN / SD-WAN
02

Secure access & delivery

Tracing how users and applications connect through firewalls, secure access, load balancing, and core network services.

  • Palo Alto / Panorama
  • Zscaler ZPA / ZIA
  • F5 LTM / GTM
  • DNS / IPAM
03

Incident response & visibility

Leading major-incident network response, testing failover, and improving troubleshooting through monitoring, documentation, and analyst mentoring.

  • SEV1 / SEV2 · RCA
  • DR / failover
  • Splunk / ThousandEyes
  • Assure1 / ServiceNow

03 / How I work

The whole path matters.

I work with network teams, project teams, carriers, and vendors to prepare changes, resolve problems, and verify the result—from a new site’s first connection to recovery after an outage.

  1. 01

    Trace the full path

    Follow the dependencies across routing, security, delivery, and core services to find the real source of a problem.

  2. 02

    Make changes carefully

    Prepare the change, coordinate the cutover, and validate service afterward. During incidents, keep teams and leadership informed as the investigation progresses.

  3. 03

    Leave teams with answers

    Document what failed and how it was resolved. Maintain useful diagrams and runbooks, and help other analysts strengthen their troubleshooting.

04 / Personal projects

Hands-on beyond the day job.

A network lab for practical experimentation, alongside the AWS infrastructure serving this portfolio.

Network lab

Segmentation, remote access, and recovery.

My home lab uses OPNsense for routing and firewalling, UniFi switches and wired access points, and Proxmox for lab workloads. Separate networks serve personal devices, IoT, guests, servers, and management.

AdGuard handles DNS and Tailscale provides remote access. A dedicated recovery connection supports troubleshooting when a change disrupts normal access.
