What I can help you with: Network deployment & migration: Cisco Meraki, VMware VeloCloud SD-WAN, Juniper, and Ciena. Staging, configuration, cutover planning, and validation.

Troubleshooting & incident response: enterprise LAN/WAN, wireless, VPN, and carrier backbone networks. SolarWinds monitoring, plus ServiceNow, Jira, and Remedy workflows.

I also hold Network+, Cloud+, and ITIL 4. No project is too small. Whether you need a single firewall fixed, a network diagram drawn, or a multi-site rollout planned, I'm happy to help.
