1) Toyota Global Proof of Concept

Developed a highly resilient network architecture for Toyota(generating more than $4M),  integrating Cisco ACI for network segmentation and automation within their data centers. Utilized VMware vSphere for server virtualization and UCS (Unified Computing System) to streamline server management. I implemented dCloud simulations, which reduced testing cycles by 30% and provided in-depth documentation to support seamless deployment.

2) Sony Proof of Concept

Implemented a scalable network solution for Sony's regional offices using Cisco SD-WAN and DNA Center for automation and monitoring. Leveraged Meraki devices to ensure secure, cloud-managed networking, optimizing both wired and wireless environments. The solution enhanced operational efficiency and reduced downtime through advanced telemetry and automated workflows.

3) TPG Telecom Project: Engineered a cloud-integrated network for TPG Telecom, focusing on hybrid cloud connectivity using Cisco vManage and vSmart components. Deployed UCS servers and ESXi hosts to create a virtualized environment with a focus on high availability and redundancy. The project involved configuring ACI fabric and deploying a Secure Agile Exchange (SAE) to improve cloud interconnectivity.

4) Aussie Broadband Project: Designed and executed a Software-Defined Access (SDA) framework for Aussie Broadband, incorporating Cisco DNA Center to enable policy-based automation and segmentation. The project involved deploying cEdge devices for WAN optimization and ensuring secure, reliable network performance across multiple sites. I provided hands-on training and comprehensive documentation to facilitate adoption by their internal teams.

5) Allianz Project Customer Proof of Concept: Led the implementation of a multi-site network solution for Allianz, focusing on connecting Meraki devices (Access Points, 9300L, 9300X switches, MX95, and MX68 security appliances) through a cloud-managed environment. Utilized vCenter for virtual machine management, integrated Active Directory for authentication, and deployed Linux servers for additional network services. This project demanded stringent security measures, where I implemented lab security protocols and best practices for managing UCS servers, ESXi hosts, and leveraging ACI for micro-segmentation.

Technical Expertise:

• Server & Virtualization: Experience with UCS, ESXi hosts, and VMware vSphere.
• Network Automation & Management: Proficient in Cisco ACI, DNA Center, SDA, and SD-WAN technologies.
• Security Measures: Implemented lab security measures and ensured compliance with enterprise security standards.

My hands-on experience across these diverse projects, combined with my technical acumen in Cisco technologies and cloud environments, equipped me with a strong foundation in delivering enterprise-scale solutions with a focus on performance, security, and operational efficiency.
