About

I’m a Network Engineer with over 2 years of experience, including hands-on work at Cisco India and freelance projects in the UK. I specialize in designing, implementing, and automating enterprise network infrastructures using Cisco and Fortinet technologies. My expertise spans routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, DHCP), VPN configuration, and network security. I’m skilled in automation using Python and PowerShell, and I’ve deployed network monitoring and performance optimization tools such as SolarWinds and Zabbix. Passionate about creating secure, scalable, and high-availability network solutions, I combine strong technical knowledge with a proactive problem-solving mindset to deliver business resilience and efficiency. During my MSc, I focused on Network and Cloud Security, and my dissertation on Securing Authentication Mechanisms in Blockchain-Enabled Vehicular Networks earned High Commendation. I developed a blockchain-based V2V authentication framework, reducing latency by 35% compared to traditional methods. I am now seeking Graduate roles in Network Engineering or Cyber Security, where I can apply my technical skills in routing, switching, and network troubleshooting, along with my certifications in CCNA and Python, to secure and optimize digital infrastructures.
