About

I am a performance-driven Cloud & Network Security Engineer with 4+ years of experience bridging the gap between traditional infrastructure (Cisco/Fortinet) and modern cloud architectures (AWS/Azure). I specialize in designing scalable, secure, and cost-optimized environments that support digital transformation.

My expertise lies in the "Builder & Defender" approach, I don't just route or deploy; I secure it.

Core Competencies: Cloud Infrastructure: Multi-Cloud Architecture (AWS & Azure), Landing Zones, Transit Gateways, and FinOps strategies that reduce cloud spend. Network Security: Zero Trust Architecture (ZTNA), NGFW Implementation (Fortinet, Palo Alto, Meraki), and SASE. Automation & DevOps: Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), Python scripting, and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Docker/Kubernetes).

Open to contract and permanent opportunities in Cloud Engineering, Network Security, and Cyber Defense.
