Network Engineer
Designing the networks that scale and stay up
Network engineer with nine years designing and building enterprise and data-centre networks for a telecom and a cloud provider in Bangalore. Works on the architecture rather than the day-to-day — designing scalable, resilient network infrastructure, planning capacity and routing, automating configuration, and building networks that handle huge traffic without falling over. Designed a data-centre network that scaled to heavy growth and led a network automation project. Designs network architecture, plans routing and capacity, automates configuration, evaluates and deploys hardware, and ensures resilience and performance. Expert, analytical and forward-looking. Looking for a senior network-engineer or network-architect role with an organisation running infrastructure that has to scale.
