I am a Network Engineer with DevOps experience, specializing in carrier-grade technologies. After receiving degrees in Network Management and Systems Security, I earned a CCNA and began working for a Tier II ISP where I gained hands-on experience with routing, switching, optical equipment, and management tools. From Layer I optical transceivers, fiber compatibility, and optical gear installations to Layer II and III BGP, MPLS, OSFP, and EVPN services across Ciena and Cisco ASR(XE), NCS(XR), and Catalyst platforms and beyond, I have experience creating and troubleshooting network components within various architectures.
Additionally, I have earned a Cisco DevNet certification, and am responsible for maintaining and creating custom network monitoring tools developed primarily in Python and administered across Linux and Windows environments, deployed via Docker containers, VMs, and server clusters. I have used custom scripts and APIs to interface with SolarWinds, Nagios, SQL databases, and other network tools.
