  • Work with Security Operations (SOC) teams to mitigate threats, monitor anomalies, and secure network boundaries.

  • Deploy and maintain SNMP-based monitoring solutions (SolarWinds, PRTG, Thousand Eyes, Cisco DNA Center, etc.).

  • Implement ExtraHop for deep packet analysis, application monitoring, and network anomaly detection.

  • Automate network tasks using Python, Ansible, Terraform, or equivalent.

  • Optimize QoS policies, WAN acceleration, and traffic engineering techniques to enhance application performance.

  • Perform capacity planning and proactive performance analysis to optimize network usage and prevent congestion.

  • Design, deploy, and manage hybrid cloud network architectures in AWS and Azure.
