I'm a Senior Network Security Engineer and consultant trusted by government agencies, universities, and enterprises across Egypt to design, secure, and troubleshoot critical infrastructure — not just fix tickets. With 7+ years of hands-on and consultancy experience, including at Egypt's Council of Ministers, I bring senior-level judgment to every firewall, VPN, email security, and routing challenge. I specialize in firewall deployment and optimization (FortiGate, Palo Alto, FTD, Forcepoint), VPN solutions (IPsec, SSL VPN, FortiClient, Pulse Secure), and advanced routing technologies, including OSPF, BGP, MPLS, L2VPN, and L3VPN. I also have strong expertise in Email Security and Mail Gateway solutions — resolving complex delivery issues, configuring SPF/DKIM/DMARC, handling blacklist removal, SMTP relay setup, and DNS-related outages. I work with FortiMail, Postfix, Cisco Email Security Gateway, and Microsoft Exchange Server 2016/2019 in production environments. In addition, I have solid experience in Cisco Voice infrastructure, including CUCM, Cisco IM & Presence, Unity Connection, and Expressway — covering VoIP deployments, SIP trunk configuration, call routing, and secure remote access for collaboration environments. I help businesses and institutions: Secure and harden network infrastructure against real threats Deploy and optimize VPN solutions for remote and site-to-site access Troubleshoot complex routing and firewall issues at the root cause Resolve email delivery failures and DNS misconfigurations Deploy and secure mail gateways (FortiMail, Postfix, Cisco Gateway) Implement and troubleshoot Cisco VoIP environments Implement monitoring and SIEM solutions (Zabbix, QRadar, Splunk) Configure and secure F5 Web Application Firewall My approach is structured and results-driven: I identify the root cause, design a clean solution, implement with minimal downtime, and ensure long-term stability. If your network, email infrastructure, or security posture needs an engineer with government-grade experience and a consultant's mindset, I'm ready to help.
