With over three decades of experience under my belt as a network and security engineer, I've traversed the ever-evolving landscape of LAN/WAN network design, network security, firewalls, implementation, and maintenance.
My expertise is not merely a testament to time, but also backed by credentials including Cisco CCNP (route/switch), a Cisco CCDP for network design, and a PCNSE for Palo Alto Networks.
I am always available for consulting for short-term and long-term projects.
Thank you.
