ABOUT
Network engineer building toward security engineering.
5+ years · 11 certifications · DC metro · Open to senior roles
I've spent five plus years on Tier-1 ISP backbone work and enterprise managed services. BGP, MPLS, SD-WAN, firewalls, the operational side of keeping things running at scale.
I also run a Proxmox cluster at home where I work on platform and detection engineering. Wildcard TLS, public status page, the kind of hands-on environment I learn fastest in.
I write about it here. Always happy to trade notes with folks doing detection, infra, or anything Cisco-shaped.
