Operating within the core Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) Technical Assistance Center, I bridge the gap between traditional network support and software engineering by developing Python-based automation scripts to streamline log analysis, threat triage, and active containment (e.g., automated IP blocking) for enterprise customers.
Played a key role in a GenAI-driven support initiative, building and integrating AI agents to automate case resolution and intelligent troubleshooting, significantly reducing manual diagnostic time for complex firewall deployments.
Led incident response and deep root cause analysis for over 500+ critical enterprise security escalations. Diagnosed intricate networking and security failures across Cisco FTD clusters, High Availability (HA) setups, BGP, and OSPF.
Partnered closely with cross-functional software engineering and escalation teams to debug complex system interactions, identify core software defects, and push resilient code fixes and automation for long-term product stability.
Automated case and ticket lifecycle management, achieving top-tier SLA tracking metrics (maintaining industry-leading First Day Final Resolution and 5-Day Final Resolution rates).
Demonstrated advanced threat analysis, forensics, and problem-solving skills by securing 2nd place overall in a Cisco enterprise-wide Capture the Flag (CTF) security challenge.
