01 — About

Infrastructure
by Design

I'm a Cloud Automation Engineer who lives at the intersection of enterprise networking and cloud infrastructure. My work spans physical SD-WAN deployments and fully automated Azure environments — I care about every layer.

Most recently I led a complete greenfield network redesign for a 120-branch financial institution, deploying Cato Networks SASE for unified SD-WAN and SSE, alongside Arista switches and access points across the entire branch footprint.

On the cloud side, I manage our Azure tenant through a fully automated IaC pipeline — Terraform modules, Azure DevOps, and Ansible playbooks for network device automation with extensive CI/CD pipeline integration for zero-touch config delivery.

120-Branch Financial Institution — Greenfield SASE

End-to-end network redesign for a financial institution spanning 60 branches. Architected and deployed Cato Networks for unified SASE (SD-WAN, SWG, CASB, ZTNA) replacing legacy MPLS infrastructure. Deployed and configured Arista switches and Wi-Fi access points at every site. Designed LAN segmentation, 802.1X port security, QoS policies, and WAN failover logic across the full branch footprint.

Ansible Network Automation & CI/CD

Extensive Ansible playbook library for network device automation — VLAN provisioning, port configuration rollouts, compliance audits, and config backups across Arista switches. CI/CD pipeline integration means every change is peer-reviewed, tested in staging, and deployed automatically. Integrates with Arista CloudVision and Cato Management APIs.
