I specialize in Cisco ACI, VXLAN EVPN, SD-WAN, hybrid cloud networking, and network security, with a strong track record of designing and migrating mission-critical infrastructures with minimal disruption. I have led architecture workshops, migration planning, technical governance, and production implementations for complex enterprise environments, including multi-site data center deployments and workload migrations. My background includes hands-on work with Cisco ACI, NDFC/DCNM, Nexus, Arista, VMware NSX-T, AWS, Azure, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cisco ISE, and enterprise routing and switching technologies. I have also delivered IT/OT segmentation initiatives aligned to Purdue models and ISA/IEC 62443, helping organizations improve security and operational resilience across industrial and enterprise networks. I am comfortable working in consulting and client-facing roles, supporting incident resolution, lifecycle upgrades, optimization, and hybrid connectivity across large-scale environments. I am open to opportunities where I can contribute deep technical expertise in data center networking, cloud connectivity, and secure network transformation programs. ## Skills 17 capabilities[Ansible](https://jobicy.com/talent/ansible.md)[BGP](https://jobicy.com/talent/bgp.md)[Cisco ACI](https://jobicy.com/talent/cisco-aci.md)[Cisco ASA](https://jobicy.com/talent/cisco-asa.md)[Cisco FTD](https://jobicy.com/talent/cisco-ftd.md)[EIGRP](https://jobicy.com/talent/eigrp.md)[Fortinet](https://jobicy.com/talent/fortinet.md)[ISA IEC 62443](https://jobicy.com/talent/isa-iec-62443.md)[Migration Planning](https://jobicy.com/talent/migration-planning.md)[MPLS](https://jobicy.com/talent/mpls.md)[Network Security](https://jobicy.com/talent/network-security.md)[NSX T](https://jobicy.com/talent/nsx-t.md)[OSPF](https://jobicy.com/talent/ospf.md)[Python](https://jobicy.com/talent/python.md)[Routing And Switching](https://jobicy.com/talent/routing-and-switching.md)[SD WAN](https://jobicy.com/talent/sd-wan.md)[Terraform](https://jobicy.com/talent/terraform.md) ## Tech stack & tools Working toolkit ### Analytics [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/grafana/grafana-original.svg) Grafana](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=grafana.md) ### Application Hosting [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/azure/azure-original.svg) Azure](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=azure.md) ### Development [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/ansible/ansible-original.svg) Ansible](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=ansible.md)[![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/terraform/terraform-original.svg) Terraform](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=terraform.md) ### Monitoring [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/splunk/splunk-original.svg) Splunk](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=splunk.md) ## Experience Career history ### Senior Network Engineer / Consultant · HCL Technologies Nov 2024 – PresentSupporting business-critical Cisco ACI, VXLAN EVPN, and Arista environments across enterprise data centres.
