I am a network engineer with experience in routing, switching, and infrastructure automation. My technical journey includes deploying full-stack Cisco Meraki solutions across campus locations, deploying tools like NetBox and OpenNMS to ensure source of truth and visibility, and troubleshooting advanced networking issues involving Site to Site VPNs, MPLS, Metro-E, and DIA circuits.
I have hands-on experience managing Active Directory domains, executing detailed infrastructure investigations, and upgrading infrastructure while focusing on minimizing operational disruption. Beyond my technical expertise, I have a proven track record of reducing operational spend for businesses through detailed investigation and analysis of production systems, invoices, and contracts.
This investigatory mindset allows me to identify inefficiencies, optimize infrastructure, and negotiate improved services. I maintain an emphasis on clear, concise communication to stakeholders. Translating the technical jargon into meaningful conversations keeps the project moving.
When I'm not refining networks or tinkering with the home-lab, I'm focused on raising my two sons to find their passions and discover their meaningful contributions to the world.
