Projects

Enterprise Network Infrastructure Upgrade

•Led enterprise-wide upgrade of legacy network infrastructure across 3 office sites (serving 500+ users), replacing end-of-life hardware with Cisco routers and switches, implementing a three-tier architecture, VLAN segmentation, and OSPF routing for better traffic flow and security. Integrated PRTG and SolarWinds for real-time monitoring, resulting in reduced network incidents, improved application access speeds, and greater visibility for proactive maintenance. Also optimized Wi-Fi 6 access point placement, updated network diagrams with Visio, and coordinated change management with cross-functional IT teams to ensure smooth rollout and minimal user disruption. Secure Multi-Site VPN Deployment

•Designed and implemented a secure site-to-site VPN architecture connecting six remote offices to a centralized data center, replacing MPLS to reduce operational costs and enhance scalability. Configured redundant IPsec tunnels for failover, enforced encryption and ACLs for secure access, and integrated monitoring via SolarWinds to track tunnel health and ensure uptime. Created detailed network documentation and supported internal audits, resulting in improved remote access reliability, enhanced data protection, and streamlined cross-site collaboration.
