I'm a network engineer who never learned how to stay in one lane. By day I design, test and troubleshoot enterprise networking gear at Allied Telesis. The rest of the time I'm automating things with Python, studying AI, poking at security, or running whatever odd job needs doing — I once ran e-commerce operations for a balloon company, and yes, that's on the résumé. Tech may be exhausting, but I keep showing up anyway.
A wide range, on purpose. Depth in networking, breadth in everything around it.
Enterprise routing & switching, network design and troubleshooting. CCIE-certified (#70146) and battle-tested on real vendor hardware.
Designing and running test plans for networking products — finding the bugs before customers do, then proving they're fixed.
Security-minded by default. Fortinet NSE certified, with hands-on focus on hardening and securing enterprise infrastructure.
Scripting away repetitive work — test automation, tooling, and glue code. If I have to do it three times, it gets automated.
Harvard-trained foundations in computer science and artificial intelligence, applied to smarter tooling and problem-solving.
E-commerce operations, documentation, support, the printer nobody else will touch. Generalist energy, specialist standards.
Five years of climbing the ladder at one of networking's quiet giants.
Promoted from Senior to Principal — leading network testing and engineering work on enterprise networking products: design validation, complex troubleshooting, and mentoring across the team.
Hands-on testing and verification of routing, switching and security features across the product line.
Started at the bottom of the rack: learning enterprise networking from the inside, one packet capture at a time.
Ran online store operations — proof that "wide range of tasks" isn't just a tagline.
Collected the hard way — one exam at a time.
