Perform sever backup operations, and Remote Troubleshooting of Operating Systems, switches, and routers, TCP/IP troubleshooting. Maintaining Academic Computing and Communication Center website

Provide solutions for Network related issues via the RT ticketing system Network Engineer Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) Summer 2015 – Fall 2016

Identified the security issues in the existing design and modified the network design for security backup server

Implemented appropriate application layer/network layer access protection to the server

Designed the network in such a way that only the administrator of the network should have complete access to the server. The Backup server is accessible to users on the LAN only through the FTP protocol. The implemented design also restricts access to other traffic EDUCATION
