Puneet Naik — Operations Associate
I’m a dedicated Network Engineer with over 2.2 years of hands-on experience designing, deploying, and optimizing secure, high-performance network infrastructures. My work spans Cisco and Aruba environments, TCP/IP, switching, routing, wireless systems, and both hardware and software components. I’ve configured and deployed WLCs, APs, and related infrastructure, onboarded devices to Cisco DNAC for centralized management, and led device migration projects to Aruba Central. I also work closely with the ISE team to implement close mode for SSIDs by applying ACLs on both Cisco and Aruba devices. Beyond building and maintaining networks, I’m committed to ensuring reliability through proactive monitoring, troubleshooting (L2/L3), and regular system upgrades. I believe in collaboration — working with security teams, vendors, and cross-functional IT teams — to deliver scalable, secure, and future-ready network solutions. I hold a Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) credential, strengthening my foundation in networking technologies and best practices. Always curious about emerging technologies and best practices, I’m passionate about making networks smarter, faster, and more resilient.
