I am a Cisco Network Architect with extensive expertise in designing, deploying, and optimizing high-performance, secure, and scalable network infrastructures for enterprise and service provider environments. With over a decade of hands-on experience in Service Provider MPLS networks, large-scale campus networks, and data center architectures powered by Cisco ACI and Cisco Nexus, I bring a holistic, end-to-end understanding of modern networking that bridges the gap between business goals and technical execution.
Core Expertise
1. Service Provider MPLS Networks
MPLS Architecture & Design – Proven experience designing resilient MPLS core and edge networks for Tier 1 and Tier 2 service providers.
Traffic Engineering & QoS – Implementing MPLS-TE to ensure optimal traffic distribution, low latency, and high availability.
L3VPN, L2VPN, and Segment Routing – Delivering scalable multi-tenant solutions for enterprises and wholesale customers.
Redundancy & Failover – Designing and testing fast reroute mechanisms (FRR) and high-availability strategies to guarantee uptime.
Network Optimization – Continuous performance tuning to handle growing bandwidth demands without service degradation.
2. Campus Networks
Enterprise LAN/WAN Architecture – Designing multi-tier campus LANs with scalable core, distribution, and access layers.
Cisco Catalyst Switching & Wireless Integration – Deploying converged wired/wireless campus solutions with secure mobility.
Access Control & Segmentation – Leveraging Cisco ISE, 802.1X, and SGTs to enforce zero-trust access policies.
Multisite Integration – Designing inter-campus connectivity with high-speed WAN and redundant backbone links.
Operational Excellence – Implementing monitoring, capacity planning, and proactive troubleshooting processes.
3. Data Center Networks (Cisco ACI & Nexus)
Cisco ACI Fabric Architecture – Designing and deploying application-centric infrastructure for agile, policy-driven networking.
Multi-Pod & Multi-Site Designs – Creating geographically redundant ACI deployments for disaster recovery and workload mobility.
Cisco Nexus Platforms – Implementing high-speed spine-leaf topologies using Nexus 9000, 7000, and 5000 series switches.
VXLAN & EVPN – Delivering scalable, flexible Layer 2/Layer 3 connectivity across large DC environments.
Integration with Virtualization & Cloud – Connecting Cisco ACI with VMware, Kubernetes, and hybrid cloud environments.
