Skilled in automating network operations using Python and Ansible, handling tasks like automated backups, configuration management, and software updates, while integrating Terraform, Ansible, and Packer to streamline AWS infrastructure management. Configured and maintained RADIUS and TACACS+ servers to deliver centralized AAA services for secure access control across network devices. Implemented and operated the F5 Container Ingress Services (CIS) integration to dynamically map Kubernetes services, ingresses, and routes to BIG-IP virtual servers, eliminating manual load balancer configuration drift during frequent pod scaling events. Designed ingress strategies where Kubernetes handled service discovery and pod lifecycle, while F5 enforced enterprise-grade traffic management features such as SSL offload, connection reuse, and advanced health monitoring. Integrated Cisco ACI with VMware platforms (vSphere, NSX, vCenter) to boost network agility and security within virtualized environments by deploying VMware NSX solutions. Expertise in application delivery controllers (F5 LTM/GTM/APM, NetScaler) for high availability and load balancing. Hands-on experience with FortiGate firewall appliances and in core networking domains, including TCP/IP, routing, and switching, with expertise in using network monitoring tools like SolarWinds and Wireshark. Implemented network automation strategies using tools such as Cisco DNA Center and Ansible to streamline operations, reduce human error, and enhance monitoring capabilities. Proficient in using SolarWinds (NetFlow Traffic Analyzer, Network Performance Monitor, Network Configuration Manager), Cisco tools, Nagios, Infoblox, HP OpenView, and Wireshark for network management. SD-WAN & Cloud Integration - Spearheaded secure and scalable network infrastructure design using Silver Peak SD-WAN. Extensive experience with Zscaler Cloud Proxy Architecture and OpenStack cloud environments. Hands on experience in Cisco Meraki switches, pre-configuring switches for zero touch deployment and managing all Meraki switches in single cloud managed tool. Experience conducting a proof of concept for Arista CloudVision, implementing spine-leaf architecture in data centers, and configuring technologies such as EVPN, VXLAN, VTEPs, bridge domains, and MP-BGP. Configured Cisco ASA modules for IDS/IPS and URL filtering and implemented Duo Security for two-factor authentication on remote access VPNs. Configured Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) to automatically adjust application scaling based on resource usage and performance metrics, ensuring optimal performance and resource efficiency while accommodating varying load conditions. Implemented secure client and site-to-site VPNs, with improvements in connection speed and extensive troubleshooting to ensure optimal performance. Automated Cisco Meraki switch deployments using zero-touch provisioning, streamlining network expansion and enhancing remote branch connectivity through centralized cloud management.
