visitor@netops:~$ cat about.txt

Network engineer supporting a Cisco-heavy enterprise spanning a central data center and ~30 remote offices. Day-to-day work runs L1–L3: routing & switching, next-gen firewall operations, identity-based access (802.1X / ISE), and the AD/DNS/DHCP/RADIUS services that hold it all together. Comfortable owning a problem end-to-end — from a packet capture to a documented, repeatable fix.
