Systems Engineer with over 10 years of experience designing, operating, and troubleshooting multi-vendor enterprise networks, routing, switching, and virtualization. I specialize in bridging traditional infrastructure with modern automation and DevOps workflows using tools like Python, Ansible, Terraform, and Docker. I am looking for remote Network Engineer or Infrastructure Analyst roles where I can streamline operations and scale resilient systems. What sets me apart is my end-to-end perspective: I combine deep low-level networking foundations with continuous infrastructure automation to build environments that run reliably without manual friction.
