San Jose, California, United States
I recently graduated as a Master’s student in Network Engineering at CU Boulder, with a strong foundation in traditional networking and network automation. My expertise spans OpenStack, network automation (Ansible, J2 templating, monitoring solutions, CI/CD), and datacenter networking, allowing me to design, deploy, and optimize complex network environments. Data Center Networking – Designed and deployed highly available networks using MLAG, vPC, BGP, OSPF, QoS, and server load balancers for efficient traffic distribution. Virtualization & Cloud – Hands-on experience with vSphere, AWS, OpenStack for scalable cloud solutions. Network Automation – Automated infrastructure deployments with Ansible, Jinja2, and CI/CD pipelines, streamlining network operations. OpenStack & Cloud-Native Networking – Built and managed OpenStack environments (DevStack, service chaining, iptables, and network overlays) for cloud-based solutions. Monitoring & Observability – Implemented proactive monitoring and alerting solutions for optimizing network performance and reliability. With a blend of traditional and modern networking expertise, I am passionate about bridging automation with infrastructure to build scalable and resilient networks.
