Introduction
Network & Security professional with 18+ years of experience across enterprise networking, cybersecurity and infrastructure environments. Since 2022, I have been working as a hands-on NetOps Team Manager, combining team management and operational responsibility with direct technical involvement. I remain actively involved in infrastructure changes, complex troubleshooting and critical production incidents. Core technical expertise: • Palo Alto, Fortinet and Cisco • Cisco Nexus and data center networking • BGP / OSPF, LACP and vPC • F5 BIG-IP • Infoblox DDI • Firewalling, NAT and high availability Recent projects include Cisco Firepower to Palo Alto migrations, data center infrastructure moves, Cisco Nexus network consolidation and DNS/DHCP migration to Infoblox. Across previous roles, I worked as a Senior Network Security Engineer, IT Security Consultant and Practice Leader, with experience across Fortinet, Check Point, Juniper, F5, Blue Coat and perimeter security environments. Today, my role combines technical ownership with team management, project coordination, supplier management and collaboration across infrastructure, security and application teams. My areas of interest include Network & Security Management, Infrastructure Management, Senior Network / Security Engineering, Technical Lead and Network / Security Architecture roles in Luxembourg.
